Summary of the Safety Concern:
IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION, VEHICLE MAY LEAK FUEL WHEN ROLLED TO AN INCLINATION OF LESS THAN 45 DEGREES. ALTHOUGH A VENT VALVE IS PRESENT, THE VALVE CLOSES ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE ANGLE EXCEEDS 45 DEGREES. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 301, "FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY." |
