- The problem
- Main fuel tank filler cap may disengage suddenly when removing the cap for refueling. The sudden cap disengagement permits expulsion of vapor and under some circumstances, sprays gasoline around the surrounding area or persons. Consequence of defect: the gasoline spillage may cause a fire and/or an explosion if an ignition source is present.
- The fix
- Requires the replacement of the single stage bayonet cap with a two stage cap which requires an additional rotation prior to removal. Also a warning label sticker will be issued to be installed just above the gasoline fill opening.
