The problem
The fuel tanks on the involved vehicles may exhibit fuel leakage when completely filled. This condition was caused by the rear floor carpet fasteners penetrating the top of the fuel tank.
The fix
The dealer will inspect vehicles for presence of carpet fasteners across the rear seat area. If any fasteners are found, they will be removed, the floor pan holes sealed, and the fuel tank dropped and inspected for nail holes. If holes are found, the fuel tank will be replaced.
