The problem
Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. The onboard vapor recovery system vent hose May have been misrouted. This could allow water to enter the canister which can cause fuel to spill out of the filler tube when refueling the tank.
The risk
Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will inspect (and reposition as necessary) the vent hose. If the vent hose is found in the bent down position, and the vehicle has been driven more than 20 miles, the canister assembly will be replaced. Owner notification began December 3, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
