The defect
DUE TO A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK FILLER PIPE, THE FUEL CAP MAY IMPROPERLY SEAL THE END OF THE FILLER PIPE. THIS FAILS TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD 301, "FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY." IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION, AN IMPROPERLY SEALED FILLER PIPE COULD ALLOW FUEL SPILLAGE.
The remedy
THE DEALER WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE FUEL CAPS ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES WITHOUT CHARGE.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
