779 of 17,656 recalls from Transport Canada and NHTSA.
On this vehicle, the fuel tank may have a localized thin wall section in the lower half of the fuel tank. The fuel tank may crack, creating a potential for a fuel leak and fuel odour. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
No risk description available.
Dealer will replace the fuel tank.
Certain vehicles may develop fuel leaks at the fuel pump outlet spigot located on top of the fuel pump cover plate. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the fuel pump outlet spigot with an improved version.
On certain motorcycles, the fuel tank bleed hose may have been pinched during assembly. This could impair the bleeding function, which could result in a deformation of the fuel tank. This deformation could come into contact with the steering lock mechanism thus having the potential of locking the steering.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect the flow of air through the bleed hose. In the event of blockage, the fuel tank will be removed and the hose will be rerouted.
On certain motorcycles, moisture may penetrate the cavity underneath the electronic controller of the fuel pump. If this happens, the contacts of the controller's electric plug can become corroded, causing the fuel pump to fail. In this situation, the engine could shut off due to lack of fuel and subsequently losing propulsion to the rear wheel.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the seal that protects the fuel pump electronics.
Certain motorcycles may have been produced with defective fuel shut-off valves. The functionality of the ON position and the RESERVE position of the valve may have been reversed. Consequently, when the control handle of the valve is set in the ON position the valve actually selects the RESERVE position fuel flow path. If a bike operated with the valve in the ON position begins to run out of fuel, the expected fuel reserve will not be available. If this occurs it could create a quit while riding situation which could lead to a crash.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the fuel valve.
On certain vehicles, the fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve may not fully close at the end of refueling. This could allow some fuel to escape from the vehicle's fuel filler neck at the end of refueling. Fuel in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the fuel tank assembly on all vehicles found to contain a suspect inlet check valve.
On certain vehicle equipped with TDI-PD (Pumpe-Düse) engines, the high-pressure diesel pumps were produced with improper fasteners. In rare cases, one of these improper fasteners may yield due to repeated cyclic loading and allow diesel fuel to escape from the high-pressure pump. Diesel fuel in the presence of an ignition source may lead to a fire. Additionally, due to the quantity of fuel that may be released, there is a crash risk posed to vehicles traveling behind the subject vehicle.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install a replacement diesel pump kit.
On certain Saab 9-3 convertible and 9-3 Viggen vehicles, the fuel pump retaining tabs holding the fuel lines were damaged during production. Over time, this could cause the fuel lines to loosen from the pump resulting in fuel leakage. If an ignition source were present, the fuel may ignite resulting in a vehicle fire.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install a bracket that will secure the fuel lines to the fuel pump even if the plastic retaining tabs should break.
On certain motorcycles, the hose clamp which secures the high pressure fuel hose to the fuel rail may not have been tightened during assembly. An unclamped fuel hose may result in a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
No risk description available.
Dealers will tighten the fuel rail hose clamp.
On certain vehicles, the fuel filler cap will not provide a proper seal around the fuel tank filler neck. In the event of a vehicle roll-over, fuel may be allowed to leak past the seal. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the fuel cap seal.
Certain vehicles may have a fuel tank with a depression at the seam between top and bottom halves of the tank (not visible from outside the fuel tank). If a depression is large enough, fuel may permeate the fuel tank wall resulting in a fuel odour, illumination of the "Service Engine Soon" indicator light, or a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the fuel tank.
On certain vehicles, a small amount of water may have been left in the fuel pump electrical connector after fuel tank integrity (leak) testing at the factory. This residual water may cause the fuel pump to fail due to corrosion. If the pump stops working, the engine will stall without warning, increasing the potential for a crash.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect for corrosion, and if required, replace the fuel pump assembly.
On certain vehicles, under ambient temperatures below -25 degrees Celsius, moisture can freeze in the fuel pressure regulator. As a result, fuel system pressure may increase at the time of engine start up, causing fuel loss at the fuel pipe/fuel hose connection. Fuel loss in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
No risk description available.
For 1999-2000 model year vehicles, dealers will (1) replace the fuel pressure regulator & vacuum hose and change the system routing to accommodate use of a higher surge tank attachment location that will prevent water from being sucked into the fuel pressure regulator, and (2) replace the fuel delivery hose and replace the hose clamp with an improved clamp. For 2001 and later model year vehicles, dealers will only replace the fuel pressure regulator & vacuum hose and change the system routing as described above.
On certain motorcycles, material around the brazed vent tube joint located at the bottom right side of the fuel tank (P/N 1013821) may fatigue and leak fuel. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the fuel tank.
On certain vehicles, a fault in the adaptive fuel control logic can cause the air/fuel ratio during deceleration to become lean enough to cause engine stalling.
No risk description available.
Dealers will reprogram the Electronic Control Module.
On certain vehicles, the in-tank fuel line of the suction jet fuel pump, through which fuel is transferred from the left chamber to the right chamber of the fuel tank, may have been attached incorrectly. Consequently, during vehicle operation, the in-tank fuel line could loosen. If this happened, transfer of fuel from the left chamber to the right chamber could stop. As a result, if fuel in the right chamber of the tank had been completely consumed, engine stalling would occur.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect the in-tank suction jet pump fuel line and, if necessary, reattach according to specifications.
On certain vehicles, the fuel rail crossover tube retainer screws were not manufactured to specifications and may break. If a tube retainer screw breaks, fuel could leak from the fuel rail crossover joint, the engine may stall and, if an ignition source were present, an engine compartment fire could occur.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect the fuel rail crossover tube assembly and, if necessary, replace the two tube retainer screws.
On certain motorcycles, the fuel tank vent rollover valve, which was designed to allow air to replace fuel in the tank during operation, could malfunction thereby starving the engine of fuel. This could cause the engine to shut down without warning, which may lead to a crash with the possibility of injury or death.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the vent valve.
On certain vehicles, when the fuel tank is full and the vehicle is parked forward on an upward slope, the fuel tank leveling valve may not maintain proper sealing in the event the fuel expands from the rise in ambient temperature. If the fuel leveling valve does not seal properly, fuel may leak onto the ground. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the fuel leveling valve.
On certain short and long wheel base regular cab vehicles, the frame may have a center rail section flange that was not properly formed. In the event of a collision, an improperly formed center rail section could potentially puncture the fuel tank, resulting in a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect the frame flange in the area of the fuel tank and, if it is found to be malformed, will replace the vehicle.
