What is wrong
The hot plate weld which attaches the vapor vent valve carrier to the top of the plastic fuel tank may partially fracture, allowing vapor of fuel to escape from the top of the tank.
The risk
The escaped vapor or leaked fuel could cause a fire inthe presence of a source of ignition.
The fix
Fuel tank will be removed and inspected for weld integrity. Fuel tanks with inadequate welds will be replaced.
