What NHTSA recorded

A metal shield on the outside of the plastic fuel filler pipe can develop a static electrical charge during refueling of the vehicle.

Possible consequence

A static charge can discharge and serve as an ignition source for fuel vapors in the area of the filler pipe, resulting in a flash vapor ignition and a vehicle fire.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, modify the vehicles by adding a ground strap between the filler pipe shield and the body.
