What NHTSA recorded

The body is subject to shift forward during an impact and the fuel filler hose and/or fuel vent line hose may separate from either the fuel filler neck or the gas tank. This does not comply with fmvss 301. Consequence of defect: a fuel spill could occur and possibly result in a fire.

Remedy

Install new fuel filler and vent line hoses, which are capable of being stretched beyond the extent to which the body could shift forward during a 30 mph frontal impact.
