The fuel filter in your vehicle is a crucial part that keeps your gasoline system working smoothly. The affected filter, made by FRAM, might not have been manufactured correctly, affecting how it connects to your fuel line.
Risk if Unfixed
If the connection isn't secure, fuel could leak out, and if a spark is present, it could catch fire. This is a serious situation that could put you and others at risk.
Free Fix
Your fuel filter will be replaced with a new one that meets the correct specifications, free of charge. Your dealer or a FRAM representative will contact you to schedule the repair once the recall begins.

The replacement lamps you installed on your vehicle are for your corner lights, turn signals, and headlights. In some cases, these lamps might not have the correct amber reflectors, which are required by law.

If your vehicle's corner lights and turn signals are missing amber reflectors, they won't illuminate properly, making it harder for other drivers to see you, especially at night. This could lead to a vehicle crash without warning.
