Issue

At the fuel tank breather pipe (the pipe that vents air during refueling) mounting point, a severe side-impact collision that causes significant body deformation may reduce the sealing integrity of the mounting joint, allowing fuel to leak.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the breather pipe with a revised unit that incorporates reinforcement to prevent deformation at the mounting point.
