Certain vehicles, operated in areas where road salts are frequently used in winter, may be exposed to road debris (mud) mixed with road salt. This material can become trapped between a reinforcing bracket and the fuel filler pipe, potentially causing corrosion. Over time, corrosion could create a leak in the fuel filler pipe that could result in fuel leakage when fueling the vehicle. This situation may result in a fire causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel filler pipe and associated parts with new, improved parts. Note: This recall is superseded by recall 2011012.
