Defect
In the evaporative emission control device mounted to the fuel tank, the geometry of the upper resin case surface is incorrect, allowing minute cracks to develop in the case during normal use. Continued long-term use allows the cracks to propagate through the case wall. In the worst case, fuel may leak when the tank is full, resulting in a fuel odor.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the evaporative emission control device with the corrected/revised part.
