Details

On certain vehicles, if excessive vacuum is applied to the fuel tanks during the canister purge cycle, fuel tank distortion may result.

After repeated exposure to the excessive vacuum, a stress crack may develop on the upper tank surface.

This could result in fuel vapours or fuel escaping from the fuel tank.

Correction: Fuel cap will be replaced with one that is vented so as not to allow excessive fuel tank vacuum.

Fuel tanks will be inspected for cracking and replaced if necessary.
