The problem
Certain passenger vehicles were inadvertently released after being assembled with prototype fuel tanks that were produced for test purposes only.
The risk
The tanks were manufactured with processes that vary significantly from regular production. The durability of these prototype fuel tanks has not been validated and is unknown.
The fix
These vehicles have not been released to customers and are located at dealer lots . The fuel tank will be replaced.
