Defect
In the evaporative emission control system, incorrect routing instructions for the canister charge tube allow the tube to contact the exhaust pipe on some vehicles, causing it to char. Continued use allows driving vibration to damage the tube, leading to evaporative fuel vapor leaks. In the worst case, this may result in a vehicle fire.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the routing of the canister charge tube. If incorrectly routed, replace the tube with a new unit and re-route it correctly.
