The problem
THE VAPOR SEPARATOR IN THE FUEL TANK EVAPORATIVE OMISSION SYSTEM LACKS THE CAPACITY TO PROHIBIT LIQUID GASOLINE FROM PASSING TO THE CANISTER UNDER CERTAIN FUEL EXPANSION CONDITIONS. GASOLINE WOULD BE DISCHARGED FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CANISTER ONTO THE REAR OF ENGINE, CREATING A FIRE HAZARD.
What owners should do
DEALER WILL INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL FUEL SEPARATOR TO ENLARGE CAPACITY, AND ADD A DISCHARGE HOSE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE FUEL CANISTER.
