The problem
Fuel tank ventilator valve in the fuel system may produce a loud and persistent "whistle" during venting of the tank. If the fuel filler cap is removed while this condition exists and the tank is more than 3/4 full, gasoline may be forced out of the filler neck onto bystanders.
The risk
Consequence of defect: fire and personal injury could result if introduced to an ignition source.
The fix
Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the fuel tank ventilator and pressure control valves without charge to owner.
