The issue
On certain vehicles at extremely cold temperatures, moisture in the fuel tank may freeze and form ice crystals. These ice crystals may obstruct the suction opening of the fuel pump which can prevent the supply of fuel to the engine and cause the engine to stop. Correction: Dealer will install a screen at the suction opening of the fuel pump.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, à très basses températures, l'humidité qui s'accumule dans le réservoir de carburant peut geler et former des cristaux de glace qui peuvent obstruer l'orifice d'aspiration de la pompe à carburant, empêchant le carburant de se rendre au moteur et causant l'arrêt du moteur. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront poser un tamis métallique sur l'orifice d'aspiration de la pompe à carburant.
