Recall 1999236

The issue

On certain vehicles, the fuel tank assemblie has an Over Pressure Relief (OPR) valve that may become stuck open in a frontal collision. If the vehicle rolls over, fuel spillage could occur. If an ignition source is present, a fire could occur. Correction: Dealers will permanently seal the outlet port of the OPR valve.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, le clapet de surpression du réservoir de carburant peut rester coincé en position ouverte lors d’une collision frontale. Si le véhicule se renverse, il se peut alors qu’un déversement de carburant s’ensuive, ce qui représente un risque d’incendie en présence d’une source d’allumage. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront boucher en permanence l’orifice de sortie du clapet de surpression.
