## What is wrong

THE FUEL TANK MOUNTED FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT ACCURACY MAY DEGRADE OVER TIME, INDICATING SIGNIFICANTLY MORE FUEL IN RESERVE THAN IS ACTUALLY PRESENT.  THIS COULD RESULT IN THE VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL AND STALLING WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.  UNDER CERTAIN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC CONDITIONS A STALLED VEHICLE COULD POSE A SAFETY RISK.

CORRECTION: FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT WILL BE REPLACED WITH A UNIT THAT INCORPORATES REVISED FORMULATION PRINTED CIRCUIT INK ON THE RESISTOR CARD.
