Details
What's wrong: During pre-assembly of the fuel tanks, an incorrect filler neck was installed causing the filler neck to not "match" the fuel cap.
Why it matters: This condition could allow fuel to escape and if an ignition source was present, a fire could occur.
The fix: Dealers will replace these filler necks.
