    FUEL LEAKAGE FROM THE FUEL TANK

    Defect

    It has been found that the clearance between the fuel tank insulator and the exhaust pipe is insufficient. During driving this may give rise to an increase in temperature around the fuel tank which may suffer reduced rigidity. At the same time the inner pressure of the fuel tank may increase causing the fuel tank and exhaust insulator to make contact. Should the surface temperature of the fuel tank exceed it's maximum permissible range partial melting may occur which could result in a fuel leak.

    Remedy

    Recall affected vehicles and fit an insulator kit between the exhaust and the fuel tank.
