Certain vehicles may have a lower fuel fill pipe which will leak during certain situations (fuel fill, fuel slosh during maneuvers, etc.). The leaking occurs through small holes created by faulty projection welds that attach the mounting bracket to the pipe. In the presence of an ignition source, leaking fuel could ignite and result in personal injury. Correction: The lower fuel fill pipe will be replaced on affected vehicles.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 1988014.
