What was wrong

Defect

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSSENGER VEHICLES. FUEL TANK DAMAGE COULD HAVE OCCURRED DURING INSTALLATION OF THE SCREWS ON THE SOFT TOP MECHANISM COVERS.

Risk

THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE FUEL LEAKAGE FROM THE FUEL TANK, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE FIRE.

Manufacturer remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FUEL TANKS FOR LEAKS. IF LEAKS ARE FOUND, THE FUEL TANK WILL BE REPLACED. DEALERS WILL ALSO INSPECT THE SOFT TOP MECHANISM COVER SCREWS TO VERIFY PROPER LENGTH. IF THE SCREWS ARE FOUND TO BE THE WRONG LENGTH, CORRECT LENGTH SCREWS WILL BE INSTALLED.
