Defect
The fuel tank breather hose — which vents air from the tank during refueling — is made of an unsuitable material. Heat from the exhaust system degrades the hose, causing it to crack. Continued use allows the crack to progress, resulting in a fuel leak. In the worst case, the leaked fuel may ignite, causing a vehicle fire.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the breather hose with the corrected part.
