NOTE:
This recall applies only to the above vehicles that were built through September 14, 2001 (MDH 091416).
IMPORTANT:
Safety Recall # A06 also involves the fuel filler inlet check valve repair for vehicles built after September 14, 2001. Dealers must verify which recall
the vehicle is involved in prior to completing the service procedure.
IMPORTANT:
Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to stop sale and complete this recall service on these
vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on
vehicles in for service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the DIAL VIP System.
Subject
The On-board Refuelling Vapor Recovery (ORVR) system vent hose on about 37,800 of the above vehicles may have been misrouted and could allow
water to enter the vapor canister. In addition, the fuel filler inlet check valve inside of the fuel tank, may stick in the open position. Either of these
conditions can cause fuel to spill out of the filler tube when the vehicle is being refueled. Fuel in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
Also, the misrouted ORVR vent hose may make it difficult to refuel the vehicle.
Repair
All involved vehicles must have the ORVR system vent hose routing inspected. New unsold vehicles that have been driven less than 20 miles and that
have a misrouted vent hose must have the vent hose rerouted. Vehicles that have been driven more than 20 miles and that have a misrouted vent hose,
may already have accumulated water in the vapor canister and therefore must have the vapor canister assembly replaced.
All involved vehicles must also be inspected to determine if the fuel filler inlet check valve inside of the fuel tank will stick. If a check valve sticks in the
open position, the fuel tank must be replaced.
Alternate Transportation
Dealers should attempt to minimize customer inconvenience by placing the owner in a loaner vehicle if inspection determines that vapor canister
assembly or fuel tank replacement is required and the vehicle must be held overnight.
