For scale, 725 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 1 year and 7 months.
Defect
The fuel filler hose is improperly assembled onto the fuel filler pipe, degrading the seal between the two components. When fuel is added after the automatic shutoff (auto-stop) function of the fill nozzle has already activated, fuel may leak from the hose.
