The defect

The involved vehicles may have been produced with an inadequate seal between the fuel filler pipe-housing assembly and the fuel filler opening-collar assembly. Two attaching screws at the bottom of this joint were omitted during assembly. It IS possible that a small quantity of overflow fuel could leak into the right rear fender well behind the luggage compartment trim panel if fuel "spit-back" or overfilling were to occur during refueling.

The remedy

Dealer will install the two missing fasteners and a lower flange reinforcement at no cost to owner.
