Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:filler pipe and cap
Problem: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The non-return valve installed at the lower end of the fuel filler pipe can stick due to insufficient clearance between the valve case and the valve shutter combined with the material properties of the fuel hose between the filler pipe and the fuel tank.
Risk: This can cause a "hard to refuel" condition, and in some instances, a "fuel spit back" during refueling.
Fix: Dealers will replace the non-return valve with a modified return valve.
Electrical system:wiring:front underhood
Problem: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with 1.8 liter engines. As a result of the length and routing of the injector harness, it can contact the manifold at the egr pipe. If the harness is damaged, a short circuit can occur, blowing the fuse for the fuel injector.
Risk: This can result in the engine stalling.
Fix: Dealers will reroute the injector harness and replace the harness if it has been damaged.
