The problem
Certain passenger vehicles May have been built with a fuel tank that does not meet specification. A weld on these fuel tanks May be insufficient, resulting in a fuel leak.
The risk
Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the fuel tank, and replace it, if necessary. Owner notification began on June 23, 2004. Owners should contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 or Pontiac at 1-800-620-7668.
