The problem
Vehicle description: Mini vans with extended wheelbase. Some of these vehicles have inoperative fuel tank rollover valves and fuel leakage would exceed the permissible amount in a rollover test. This does not comply with the requirements of FMVSS no. 301, "fuel system integrity."
The risk
In a vehicle rollover accident, if an ignition source is present, a fire could result.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the vehicles to locate and replace those fuel tanks that could have inoperative rollover valves.
