The 2004 Pontiac Aztek has two recalls, the more serious being a fuel tank weld that can fail and allow fuel to leak onto the ground, creating a fire risk if an ignition source is nearby.
A separate electrical recall involves contamination on ignition relay contacts that causes high resistance in signals reaching the engine's control computer, which can cause the engine to stall unexpectedly and, in some cases, prevent the vehicle from restarting right away.
