## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, when the fuel tank is full and the vehicle is parked forward on an upward slope, the fuel tank leveling valve may not maintain proper sealing in the event the fuel expands from the rise in ambient temperature.  If the fuel leveling valve does not seal properly, fuel may leak onto the ground.  Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire.  Correction:  Dealers will replace the fuel leveling valve.
