What This Recall Means

Component

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS

What Happened
The fuel tank vent line in your i3 REx is like a safety valve that helps prevent pressure from building up in the tank. Over time, it can get damaged by the battery cable nearby, causing a hole to form and leaking fuel vapors.
Risk if Unfixed
If there's a leak and an ignition source is present, like a spark from the engine, it could cause a fire. This is a serious risk that you should address as soon as possible.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect the fuel vent line and fix or replace it as needed. They'll also add a protective clip to keep the line from getting damaged again – all at no cost to you. Schedule the repair when you receive the recall notice.
