What NHTSA recorded
The fuel separators on the involved vehicles may have thin walls due to a material thickness problem. The separators in these walls may crack and may allow fuel vapors or liquid fuel to leak into the engine under high pressure conditions.
Remedy
The dealer will install improved separators and relocate both the separator and fuel canister without charge.
