Recall 03V454000: Fuel Tank Inspection/Replacement

DEFECT: On certain sport utility vehicles, a weld between the fuel tank inlet check valve and the fuel tank can fail. If these parts separate, the driver may notice an odor of fuel, the Service Engine Soon or Check Engine light may illuminate, and/or fuel may leak onto the ground. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.


REMEDY: Dealers will inspect the serial number of the fuel tank to see if it is on the list of affected tanks. If the serial number matches, the fuel tank will be replaced. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began November 11, 2003. Owners may contact Buick at 1-866-608-8080, or Pontiac at 1-800-620-7668.
