Defect

Safety risk

Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect (and reposition as necessary) the vent hose. If the vent hose is found in the bent down position, and the vehicle has been driven more than 20 miles, the canister assembly will be replaced. Owner notification began december 3, 2001.
