Details
What's wrong: During extended operation in high ambient temperature conditions, the area of the pump mounting surface of the fuel tank can deform, forming a gap between the tank mounting surface and the gasket, allowing fuel to escape from the tank at that area.
Why it matters: If an ignition source was present, a fire could occur resulting in personal injury.
The fix: Dealers will replace the fuel pump-to-tank gasket.
