The problem
Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. Some of these vehicles May have been built with fuel tanks with suspect vent tube welds.
The risk
Separation of the vent tube weld could result in a fuel leak. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will replace any fuel tanks built in the suspect time period. The vehicle will be inspected and if the bar code on the fuel tank indicates that the tank was built during the suspect period, it will be replaced.
