## What is wrong

THE FUEL CAPS ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES DO NOT SEAL PROPERLY AND ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 301, "FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY." CONTACT WITH FUEL CAUSES THE FUEL CAP GASKET TO SWELL, PREVENTING ADEQUATE SEALING BETWEEN CAP AND FILLER OPENING.


## The remedy

A REPLACEMENT CAP WILL BE SENT TO EACH OWNER OF AN AFFECTED VEHICLE, FREE OF CHARGE.


## Notes

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES.SYSTEM: FUEL SYSTEM; FUEL FILLER CAP.CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: THE LACK OF A SEAL CAN CAUSE FUEL LEAKAGE WHEN THE TANKIS FULL. IN ADDITION, CONTACT WITH FUEL MAY ALSO CAUSE THE INNER PORTION OF THECAPS TO DISSOLVE CAUSING THE CAP TO CRACK OR BREAK. A FIRE COULD OCCUR INEITHER CASE AND COULD RESULT IN INJURY TO OCCUPANTS.
