The paint along the weld seam of the fuel tank may peel and lead to corrosion of the exposed metal, which can result in a fuel leak.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
What to do
Dealers will inspect the fuel tank and replace -- if necessary -- free of charge.
Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed January 23, 2023.
