Details

What's wrong: The fuel shut-off timer modules are defective. The module was supposed to be programmed with a 5 minute shut-off feature, which automatically shuts off the fuel pump after 5 minutes of no activity. The defective modules do not have this automatic shut-off feature programmed into them. This allows the fuel pump to continuously run if not shut off in the initial 5 minute period, causing it to overheat and fail.

Why it matters: Overheating may lead to fire, property damage, or personal injury.

The fix: Dealers will replace the defective fuel shut-off timer modules free of charge. The safety recall began on January 17, 2011.
