FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE Safety Recalls

Critical #13E065000 Plain English
Component

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

Manufacturer
Airtex Products, LP
What Happened
The fuel pump in your vehicle is a critical part that helps get gasoline from the tank to your engine. In some aftermarket pumps, like the one made by Airtex, the connection between the pump and the fuel line can leak when the gas tank is full.
Risk if Unfixed
This leak could expose the fuel to an ignition source, like a spark or an open flame, which could cause a fire.
Free Fix
Your pump will be replaced with a new one, free of charge, as soon as you get the notice. Your dealer will notify you, and you should schedule the repair as soon as possible.
