CORRECTION: FUEL VAPOUR VALVES WILL BE REPLACED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.

Description (français)

NOTA: Vise les véhicules polycarburants Taurus FFV. Ces véhicules ne satisfont pas aux exigences de la NSVAC 1105 - Gaz d'évaporation. Les réservoirs de carburant de certains de ces véhicules sont équipés du mauvais clapet de vapeurs de carburant. Les clapets en question pourraient permettre au carburant de sortir du réservoir et de se rendre jusqu'à l'absorbeur de vapeurs, entraînant des émissions de gaz d'évaporation qui dépassent les exigences de la norme. Correction: Le clapet de vapeurs de carburant devra être remplacé sur les véhicules visés.
