Details
What's wrong: During the subsequent static rollover test, fuel spillage exceeded the specified rate.
Why it matters: Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
The fix: Dealers will install a stop plate assembly on the vehicle frame to prevent recovery valve contact with a frame crossmember during the impact sequence.
