The issue
On certain vehicles, the fuel tank assembly valve may not close properly. If a vehicle with a fuel tank assembly valve that is not properly closed were to roll over, fuel spillage could occur. Fuel spillage in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire. Correction: Dealer will install an additional fuel tank assembly valve.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, le robinet du réservoir d'essence pourrait ne pas se fermer correctement. Si un véhicule équipé d'un robinet mal fermé capotait, de l'essence pourrait se répandre, ce qui, en présence d'une source d'allumage, pourrait provoquer un incendie. Correction : Le concessionnaire devra installer un robinet supplémentaire sur le réservoir d'essence.
