## What is wrong

VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN PRODUCED WITH AN INADEQUATE SEAL BETWEEN THE FUEL FILLER PIPE HOUSING AND THE FUEL FILLER OPENING COLLAR DUE TO THE OMISSION OF TWO ATTACHING SCREWS DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY.  IF "SPIT\-BACK" OR OVERFLOW WERE TO OCCUR DURING REFUELING, FUEL COULD LEAK INTO THE RIGHT REAR FENDER WELL.  THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT A FUEL AND AIR MIXTURE IN THE FENDER WELL WOULD BE IGNITED BY NEARBY ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.
