What Happened
The suction pump in your vehicle is a part that helps control the airflow in the fuel tank. In certain models, the seal in this pump can wear out and let fuel leak into the evaporative emissions system.
Risk if Unfixed
If the seal fails, fuel could leak out of the charcoal canister and, if it comes into contact with an ignition source, could cause a fire.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty suction pump with a new one at no cost to you. Schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice to ensure your safety on the road.
