Defect
On some 4-wheel-drive vehicles, the retaining clamp on the fuel tank breather hose—which vents air from the tank during refueling—was overtightened during assembly, causing cracks to form in the hose. Continued use allows the cracks to propagate and, in the worst case, the hose may fracture and allow fuel to leak.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the breather hose and retaining clamp with new parts and tighten the clamp to the specified torque.
