Subject:
1997-98 SONATA CANISTER AIR INTAKE REPLACEMENT AND FUEL TANK INSPECTION CAMPAIGN 044
This TSB has been revised to add an "A" assembly plant VIN identifier and make several minor changes to the procedure.
DESCRIPTION
Some 1997 and 1998 SONATA vehicles may experience excessive vacuum formation in the fuel tank caused by contamination of the canister air filter. This may cause minor distortion of the fuel tank. After prolonged exposure to the excessive vacuum, a small crack may develop on the upper fuel tank.
A new canister air intake system has been made available to prevent this contamination condition. Inspect the fuel tank for cracking by using the following procedure and replace the canister air filter with the new canister air intake system.
