Defect
The seal design at the fuel pump mounting area is inadequate, allowing the O-ring to twist during fuel pump installation. Fluctuations in fuel tank internal pressure may then compromise the seal integrity and, in the worst case, cause a fuel leak.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the O-ring at the fuel pump mounting area and the fuel tank vessel with the corrected parts.
