NHTSA recall 96V234000
Fuel System, Gasoline · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: During development testing, the prop shaft contacted the inboard side of the fuel tank allowing fuel leakage. This leakage was in excess of the amount permitted by fmvss 301, "fuel system integrity."
Why it matters: If an ignition source is present, and there is a fuel leak, a fire could occur.
The fix: Dealers will install additional shielding of the fuel tank. This will be added without removing or disassembling the fuel system.
