On certain vehicles, the fuel cap could fail to seal against the filler neck. This could allow a small amount of fuel to leak into the drain tube during acceleration or deceleration if the fuel tank is full. A fuel leak, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. The improper seal could also allow water to enter the fuel tank, potentially affecting engine function and resulting in an engine stall. These issues could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel tank cap.
