Defect

In the fuel system, the metal filter at the tip of the in-tank fuel pump contacts the inner wall of the fuel tank. When water accumulates in the tank, galvanic corrosion develops at the contact point between the tank and the metal filter, producing rust that may perforate the tank and cause a fuel leak.

Corrective action

1. On all vehicles, replace the rubber cover at the tip of the fuel lift pump with a corrected/revised part and add a resin strap to the mounting bracket. 2. On all vehicles, inspect the fuel tank; if rust is present on the bottom of the tank, replace the fuel tank with a new unit.
