What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. Electrical current to the fuel pump passes through the c304 and c305 connectors. If exposed to moisture, these connectors could corrode. Over time, the fuel pump will not receive enough current to operate.

Possible consequence

This condition could cause the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the existing connectors and reposition those connectors to an area where the placement is designed to prevent contact with moisture.
