Details
What's wrong: The upper molded gas bottle cover lid can become disengaged from the plastic pan during transit due to improper attachment of the lower rubber hold-down straps, severe wind turbulence, or vibration.
Why it matters: This lid could fall onto the roadway creating a road hazard.
The fix: Dealers will add a positive locking device to secure the upper molded gas bottle cover lid to the lower plastic pan.
