## What is wrong

General Motors LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain 2016\-2018 Chevrolet Cruze LS vehicles, equipped with a gasoline engine and a tire inflator kit instead of a spare tire.  The vehicles may leak gasoline following a rear\-impact crash and a rollover.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 301, "Fuel System Integrity."


## What can happen

A fuel leak, in the presence of an ignition source, increases the risk of a fire.


## The remedy

GM will notify owners, and dealers will install a lock\-ring on the fuel tank that will shield the fuel tank vapor pressure sensor from damage in a rear\-impact crash, free of charge.  The recall began June 7, 2018.  Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1\-800\-222\-1020.  GM's number for this recall is 18159.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
