Defect
The vent ring welded to the resin fuel tank—which connects to the vent valve that prevents liquid fuel from being drawn into the evaporative emissions canister during driving—was improperly molded. Repeated expansion and contraction of the fuel tank may cause the vent ring to crack. When fuel level is high, fuel may leak from the cracked vent ring.
Corrective action
All vehicles: replace the resin fuel tank with a corrected part.
