NHTSA recall 14V-820 (14V820000)

What is being recalled

In the affected vehicles, the hose clamp that secures the fuel tank vent line may not have been properly tightened during assembly.

Why it is dangerous

A loose hose clamp could allow the fuel tank vent line to detach which may result in a fuel leak, increasing the risk of a fire.
