What NHTSA recorded

In the event of a collision, vehicle may leak fuel when rolled to an inclination of less than 45 degrees. Although a vent valve is present, the valve closes only when the vehicle angle exceeds 45 degrees. This does not comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 301, "fuel system integrity."

Remedy

Dealer will replace the vent hose with one of an improved design. The vent hose will be rerouted to a position above the maximum fuel level and will discharge into the fuel tank filler pipe.
