Defect
The quick-connect joint on the fuel tank breather hose is insufficiently engaged, leaving the O-ring seal not properly seated against the joint pipe. This compromises the sealing integrity of the joint and may allow fuel to leak from the connection when the tank is full.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the quick-connect joint on the breather hose; on any joint found to be insufficiently engaged, reseat the connection to the fully engaged position.
