Fuel System, Gasoline / Storage / Tank Assembly

Fuel System, Gasoline / Storage / Tank Assembly / Filler Pipe and Cap
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Under adverse conditions of high ambient temperatures, pressures and fuel volatility, fuel may surge when the fuel filler cap is removed in a certain manner. Under these same conditions the involved vehicles may develop vapor lock.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
The dealer will install a baffle in the fuel filler neck to prevent fuel surge and install a new pressure control valve, which will bring about a lower vent pressure. This will be done at no cost to owner.
