Details

What's wrong: On certain sport utility vehicles, a fitting for vapor recirculation, which is welded on the fuel tank, may come off the fuel tank because incorrect material was used.

Why it matters: This could result in the malfunction indicator light in the instrument panel coming on and may result in some fuel leakage. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.

The fix: Dealers will replace the fuel tank with a new one free of charge. The recall began on March 20, 2006.
