Fuel system Vehicle recall #17V084000 · 2017 · 9 vehicles
What's wrong: The affected vehicles May have a cracked left hand inner sill panel. In the event of a crash involving a left hand impact, the cracked sill panel May result in the underfloor fuel lines rupturing and leaking fuel.
Why it matters: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
