The potential for fuel leakage exists in the engine compartment at the fuel reservoir seam and its hose connections. The fuel reservoir IS a silver colored can mounted to the air cleaner.
Risk and remedy
Remedy
The hoses and the metal tube that attaches to the fuel reservoir will be replaced with new components. The dealer will also replace or reseal the reservoir.
An emissions system valve may allow an overly rich mixture (excessive fuel) in the engine during deceleration. The mixture of air and excessive fuel can cause the engine to stall while stopping, coasting, or turning.

All involved vehicles will be corrected by removing the emissions system valve and installing a vacuum line connector in its place.
