What Happened
The fuel filler pipe and cap in your vehicle are designed to help prevent fuel spills when you fill up. However, in some cases, it might not be properly attached to the fuel tank.
Risk if Unfixed
If there's a fuel leak, it could ignite if there's an ignition source nearby, which may cause a fire. This is a serious concern, especially when you're refueling or your tank is almost full.
Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect the fuel tank and replace it if necessary, free of charge. You should schedule this repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.

CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 301, "FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY." THE FUEL FILL FITTING IS NOT PROPERLY SECURED TO THE FUEL TANK. IN THAT CONDITION, FUEL LEAKAGE WOULD EXCEED THE PERMISSIBLE AMOUNT IN AN FMVSS TEST. FUEL LEAKS MAY OCCUR, PARTICULARLY AFTER REFUELING OR WHEN THE TANK IS MORE THAN HALF FULL.
