The problem
The seal material between the fuel filler pipe and fuel tank may not have been fully cured during the molding process which could allow for fuel leakage.
The risk
Fuel leakage could result in a vehicle fire if an ignition source were present.
The fix
Dealers will replace the fuel filler pipe-to-fuel tank seal with a new seal of different material.
