What Happened
The fuel tank in your Mini Van is the container that holds the gasoline. Unfortunately, some of these tanks have small imperfections on their surface that could allow fuel to leak out.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel tank leaks and there's an ignition source nearby, like a spark from a hot engine or a cigarette, it could cause a fire.
Free Fix
Your authorized dealer will inspect the fuel tank for these imperfections and replace it if necessary – at no cost to you. You should schedule the inspection as soon as you get the recall notice and have it done within a reasonable timeframe.
