Recall 1982041

The issue

VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN PRODUCED WITH AN INADEQUATE SEAL BETWEEN THE FUEL FILLER PIPE HOUSING AND THE FUEL FILLER OPENING COLLAR DUE TO THE OMISSION OF TWO ATTACHING SCREWS DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY. IF "SPIT-BACK" OR OVERFLOW WERE TO OCCUR DURING REFUELING, FUEL COULD LEAK INTO THE RIGHT REAR FENDER WELL. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT A FUEL AND AIR MIXTURE IN THE FENDER WELL WOULD BE IGNITED BY NEARBY ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.

Description (français)

Ces véhicules peuvent présenter un manque d'étanchéité entre la paroi du compartiment et le col du tuyau de remplissage d'essence par suite de l'omission de deux vis durant l'assemblage des véhicules. En cas de débordement du réservoir lors du remplissage, l'essence peut couler dans la cuvette de l'aile arrière. Ce mélange air-essence risque d'être enflammé par les accessoires électriques montés à proximité.
