## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the fuel filter assembly may corrode prematurely on the exterior surface.  If corrosion on the exterior surface of the fuel filter assembly progresses to the point of creating a hole in the shell, fuel droplets would form and drop to the ground.  There would be a noticeable fuel odour around the vehicle.  If an ignition source is present, a fire could result.  Correction:  Dealers will replace the fuel filter assembly.
