## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the fuel filler pipe vent hose may have less than the intended level of ozone resistance, which could result in the hose becoming brittle and cracking.  A cracked hose could result in fuel leakage when the vehicle is being fueled.  Fuel leakage in sufficient quantity in the presence of an ignition source could potentially result in a fire.  Correction:

Dealers will install a fuel filler vent hose containing the appropriate blend of PVC and nitrile rubber.
