Details

What's wrong: Some of these vehicles have inoperative fuel tank rollover valves and fuel leakage would exceed the permissible amount in a rollover test. This does not comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 301, "fuel system integrity."

Why it matters: In a vehicle rollover accident, if an ignition source is present, a fire could result.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the vehicles to locate and replace those fuel tanks that could have inoperative rollover valves.
