Details

What's wrong: The fuel tank mounted rollover valve can allow liquid fuel to leak onto the ground under certain vehicle operating conditions.

Why it matters: Fuel leakage could result in a fire if an ignition source was present.

The fix: Dealers will replace the fuel tank rollover valve with a float type rollover valve.
