What Happened
Your vehicle's fuel tank has a problem with the fuel gauge not working correctly due to a chemical reaction between the fuel and the fuel gauge components. This can cause the gauge to show a false reading, leading to a potentially serious safety issue.
Risk if Unfixed
You could run out of fuel without warning, which can lead to safety problems, such as being stranded or getting stuck in a situation where you can't get help.
Free Fix
You should take your vehicle to the dealership at no cost to you, where a technician will replace the faulty fuel gauge components with new ones made of a special material that won't react with fuel. This should be done as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
