Details

What's wrong: Fuel tank damage could have occurred during installation of the screws on the soft top mechanism covers.

Why it matters: This condition could cause fuel leakage from the fuel tank, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the fuel tanks for leaks. If leaks are found, the fuel tank will be replaced. Dealers will also inspect the soft top mechanism cover screws to verify proper length. If the screws are found to be the wrong length, correct length screws will be installed.
