1. Filler pipe and cap (fuel system)

   NHTSA 77V094000 Reported June 17, 1977 1,835 vehicles potentially affected BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE

   The filler caps which have relief pressure valves incorporated may allow pressure build-up in the gas tank. This pressure may be greater than the closing pressure of the float valve in the carburetor, which could cause overflooding.

   Remedy: Dealer will modify the gas cap to prevent pressure build-up, at no cost to the owner.
