Filler pipe and cap (fuel system)
During installation of the rear seats, the drills used to create pilot holes for mounting the rear seat penetrated the fuel tank crossover pipe located behind the rear spring hanger bracket above the rear spring. The damaged fuel lines can cause fuel leakage.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the fuel tank crossover pipe and if a puncture is found, a replacement pipe will be installed.

Latch (latches/locks/linkages)

Remedy: The standard nuts will be replaced with locking nuts.
