Risk Description
Some of the affected vehicles may contain a breather pipe that was not manufactured to specification. This may result in excessive swelling and cracking of the retaining grommet and subsequent detachment of the breather pipe from a connector tube. When the fuel level in the tank is above the level of the detached joint, fuel may then enter the breather pipe. The vehicle may exhibit MIL illumination, fuel odour and drivability concerns such as hesitation, misfire, stalling, rough running or difficulty in starting (reasons for probable cause of accident). If the amount of fuel flowing into the breather pipe reaches the vapour canister and exceeds the canister capacity, the excess fuel may be discharged onto the ground (possible cause of fire).
