What is wrong

On certain passenger vehicles, a weld between the fuel tank inlet check valve and the fuel tank can fail.

The risk

If these parts separate, the driver may notice an odor of fuel, the service engine soon or check engine light may illuminate, and/or fuel may leak onto the ground. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.

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].
