{"source":"tc","country":"ca","campaign":"2001026","date":"2001-02-06","owner_notified":null,"manufacturer":null,"component":"Fuel System","summary":"On certain vehicles, the evaporative emission control systems may apply excessive vacuum to the fuel tanks during the canister purge cycle. Minor fuel tank distortion could result. A small crack could develop on the upper fuel tank surface. The \"Check Engine\" light would then illuminate and, in some cases, the vehicle driver could notice a gasoline odor.   Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire. Correction: Dealers will pressure check the vehicle's fuel tank to determine if it has cracked. If it is cracked, a new fuel tank will be installed. A new fuel filler cap that decreases the amount of vacuum inside the fuel tank will also be installed.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"R-28","part_number":null,"units":11571,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Système d'alimentation en carburant","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules, si le système de contrôle de l'évaporation de carburant exerce une dépression excessive sur le réservoir pendant le cycle de purge de la cartouche filtrante, il se peut que le réservoir se déforme et que des fissures de contrainte se développent sur la surface supérieure du réservoir. Le voyant CHECK ENGINE s'allumera alors et, dans certains cas, il y aura une odeur d'essence. Or, en présence d'une source d'allumage, une fuite de carburant représente un risque d'incendie. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront mettre le réservoir sous pression pour voir s'il n'est pas fissuré et le remplacer s'il y a lieu. Ils devront aussi remplacer le bouchon du réservoir par un modèle qui empêche la formation d'une dépression excessive dans le réservoir."},"vehicles":[{"year":1998,"make":"HYUNDAI","model":"ACCENT","vehicle_id":"1998_hyundai_accent","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1997,"make":"HYUNDAI","model":"ACCENT GT","vehicle_id":"1997_hyundai_accent","match":"base","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2001026"}
