Problem: Certain passenger vehicles fail to comply with requirements of fmvss no. 301, "fuel system integrity." the fuel fill fitting is not properly secured to the fuel tank. In that condition, fuel leakage would exceed the permissible amount in an fmvss test. Fuel leaks may occur, particularly after refueling or when the tank is more than half full.
Risk: If an ignition source were present, a fire could occur.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the fuel tank and replace it if necessary.
