The problem
During an insurance institute for highway safety (iihs) offset frontal barrier impact test, it was determined that fuel tan damage could occur. On certain passenger vehicles, a vapor tube hose clamp that is located near the fuel tank May not be positioned properly and could cause fuel leakage.
The risk
Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source May result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the position of the vapor tube hose clamp ears and correctly position the clamp, if necessary. The recall began on October 5, 2004. Owners should contact Hyundai de puerto rico at 1-800-981-0188.
