Summary
On certain vehicles, cracks could develop in the fuel vent hose. If (1) the fuel tank is overfilled, not allowing excess fuel in the vent hose to flow back into the tank, (2) the vehicle is driven only a short distance after refueling and, (3) there is subsequently significant heating of the fuel tank, the fuel in the tank can expand into the vent hose and leak fuel. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire. Correction: Fuel tank vent hose will be replaced.
Summary
A REAR LAMP ON THESE VEHICLES MAY NOT ILLUMINATE BECAUSE THE METAL CAN IN THE LAMP SOCKET MOVES OR SEPARATES FROM THE PLASTIC SOCKET HOUSING. THIS CAN RESULT IN THE STOP/TAIL COMBINATION LAMP OR THE TURN SIGNAL LAMP NOT FUNCTIONING. THE CENTER HIGH MOUNTED STOP LAMP OPERATION IS NOT AFFECTED. CORRECTION: BOTH REAR LAMP SOCKET ASSEMBLIES WILL BE REPLACED WITH AN IMPROVED ASSEMBLY.
