The issue
SOME OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE FUEL PETCOCK, LOCATED ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE FUEL TANK, MAY NOT SEAL PROPERLY DUE TO INADEQUATE MACHINING. THIS COULD ALLOW FUEL TO LEAK PAST A DIAPHRAM TO THE OUTSIDE RESULTING IN A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. CORRECTION: A NEW FUEL PETCOCK, COMPLETE WITH GASKET, WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
Description (français)
En raison d'un mauvais usinage, certains élément du robinet situé sur le dessous du réservoir de carburant peuvent ne pas être étanches. Le carburant pourrait donc fuir par la membrane et causer un incendie.
