What is wrong
On certain passenger vehicles, a weld between the fuel tank inlet check valve and the fuel tank can fail.
The risk

The fix
Dealers will inspect the serial number of the fuel tank to see if it is on the list of affected tanks. If the serial number matches, the fuel tank will be replaced. Owner notification began november 4, 2003. Owners should contact buick at 1-[removed] or pontiac at 1-[removed].
