Certain vehicles equipped with 2.4L engines may have been built with a damaged fuel tube that may result in a fuel leak. In the presence of an ignition source, a fuel leak could increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and replace the fuel supply tube as necessary.
On certain motorcycles, the O-ring of the fuel tank internal breathing system valve plug may have been damaged during installation. This could result in a fuel leak, which in the presence of an ignition source could increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the plug and the O-ring with new components.
On certain motorcycles, the fuel cap may not vent properly and fuel tank pressure could be increased. This could result in fuel to spray out of the tank while opening the fuel tank cap, which in the presence of an ignition source, could increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will rework the currently installed fuel tank cap and improve the breathing capacity.
On certain vehicles, the front fuel tank strap may become loose or detached due to corrosion of the frame bracket. This could result in the front of the fuel tank to lower, potentially allowing the front of the tank to make contact with the ground, which could increase the risk of a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will install a reinforcement bracket onto the frame.
On certain vehicles, the fuel pressure sensor may not have been tightened properly when the corrective measure of recall 2012-074 was performed. As a result, the fuel pressure sensor may loosen over time, which could cause a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and retighten the fuel pressure sensor as necessary.
On certain vehicles equipped with a 5.0L V8 gasoline engine, a fatigue crack could develop on the cover of the high pressure fuel pump. If the vehicle is operated with this condition, the crack could expand and allow fuel to leak. Leaking fuel in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire, increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the high pressure fuel pumps with improved ones.
On certain vehicles equipped with a V6 engine, one or both fuel delivery pipes may not have been properly connected to the fuel hoses during assembly. If the fuel delivery pipes are partially engaged, it could result in a fuel odour and/or a fuel leak, which in the presence of an ignition source could increase the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the fuel delivery pipes for proper installation and connect them, as necessary.
On certain vehicles, the brazing fuel rail end caps may not seal properly which could cause a fuel leak over time. A Fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire causing injury and/or damage to property.
On certain vehicles, the brazing fuel rail end caps may not seal properly which could cause a fuel leak over time. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire causing injury and/or damage to property.
Certain vehicles equipped with a 6.2L supercharged engine may experience a fuel line separation resulting in a fuel leak, potentially causing the engine to stall. An engine stall could result in a loss of motive power which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Additionally, leaking fuel in the presence of an ignition source could increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and replace the fuel line as necessary.
On certain vehicles, the fuel system may leak at various quick connectors due to manufacturing defects. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will install a new fuel delivery line kit .
On certain vehicles, the fuel line may weaken and leak over time due to an issue during the manufacturing process. This could result in a fuel leak, which in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury.
On certain vehicles, the thickness of fuel tank walls may not be adequate due to an issue during the manufacturing process. This could result in fuel leaking from the tank, which in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury.
On certain vehicles, the fuel cap could fail to seal against the filler neck. This could allow a small amount of fuel to leak into the drain tube during acceleration or deceleration if the fuel tank is full. A fuel leak, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. The improper seal could also allow water to enter the fuel tank, potentially affecting engine function and resulting in an engine stall. These issues could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property.
On certain vehicles equipped with gasoline engines and dual fuel tanks, the fuel level sensor in the front tank could become stuck in the low level position, causing the rear tank to overfill the front tank. If this occurs, the front tank could expand and come in contact with the moving drive shaft which, over time, could create a hole in the front tank and cause a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the rear tank fuel pump module or flash the vehicle software. Dealers will also inspect the front tank for damage and replace it as necessary.
On certain vehicles, the low pressure fuel pump resistor could potentially fail. if this occurs, the low pressure fuel pump would stop working, causing the engine to stall potentially while the vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of motive power which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the fuel pump resistor cable assembly with a new and updated part.
On certain vehicles, the fuel pump flange may develop fine cracks or fissures, which could result in a fuel leak. Leaking fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a fire causing injury and/or damage to property.
On certain vehicles, the fuel pump flange may develop fine cracks or fissures, which could result in a fuel leak. Leaking fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a fire causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect for cracks and replace the fuel filter flange if cracks are found. If no cracks are detected, a protective cover will be applied to the filter flange to prevent oxidization and future formation of cracks.
On certain vehicles, there could be an interruption in electrical power to the fuel pump control module. This could result in the fuel pump running continuously, resulting in a drained battery and/or a no start condition, or cause a loss of motive power while the vehicle is in motion, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the fuel pump control module and relocate it within the vehicle.
On certain vehicles, and incorrect fuel pressure map was used in the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) software as a result, the pressure regulator may fail to open to send fuel from the sub tank to the main tank. Under certain conditions, the fuel level in the main tank could be too low for the fuel pump to send fuel to the engine resulting in a loss of motive power, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will update the software for the Fuel Pump Control Module.
