## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the flange that attaches the fuel filter to the tank could eventually develop a crack and allow fuel to leak.  Although any such leakage would be in an area where vehicle temperatures are too low for ignition, fuel leakage, in the presence of an external ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the fuel filter.
