What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

THE FUEL CAPS ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES DO NOT SEAL PROPERLY AND ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 301, "FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY." CONTACT WITH FUEL CAUSES THE FUEL CAP GASKET TO SWELL, PREVENTING ADEQUATE SEALING BETWEEN CAP AND FILLER OPENING.

The remedy

A REPLACEMENT CAP WILL BE SENT TO EACH OWNER OF AN AFFECTED VEHICLE, FREE OF CHARGE.

IN ADDITION, CONTACT WITH FUEL MAY ALSO CAUSE THE INNER PORTION OF THECAPS TO DISSOLVE CAUSING THE CAP TO CRACK OR BREAK. A FIRE COULD OCCUR INEITHER CASE AND COULD RESULT IN INJURY TO OCCUPANTS.

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.
