The problem

Corrosion of the fuel filler tube assembly can occur, especially those vehicles operated in the "salt belt," resulting in fuel leakage.
The risk
Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the fuel filler tube and replace the tube with a new one. Any other components of the fuel filler tube assembly which are damaged or deteriorated will also be replaced.
