On certain vehicles, a weld between the fuel tank inlet valve and the fuel tank was not made to specification and can fail. If these parts separate, the driver may notice an odour of fuel, the Service Engine Soon or Check Engine light may illuminate, and/or fuel may leak onto the ground. If a sufficient amount of fuel leaked and if an ignition source were present, a vehicle fire could occur. Correction: Dealer will inspect the fuel tank and replace it if necessary.
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 2003266.
