Details

What's wrong: There is the potential for road salt to corrode the outer surface of the fuel filter. This could lead to the filter housing becoming porous with a corresponding fuel leak.

Why it matters: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.

The fix: Dealers will replace the fuel filter and reposition the retaining clip on all affected vehicles. The recall began on June 18, 2008.
