Consequence of defect: the gasoline spillage may cause a fire and/or an explosion if an ignition source is present.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Requires the replacement of the single stage bayonet cap with a two stage cap which requires an additional rotation prior to removal. Also a warning label sticker will be issued to be installed just above the gasoline fill opening.
