Details

What's wrong: Fuel tank assemblies in these vehicles have an over pressure relief (opr) valve that can become stuck open in a frontal collision. If the vehicle rolls over, fuel spillage could occur.

Why it matters: If an ignition source is present, a fire could result.

The fix: Dealers will permanently seal the outlet port of the opr valve.
