The hazard
ON VEHICLES WITH DUAL FUEL TANKS, THE DUAL FUNCTION FUEL RESERVOIR (DFR) MAY MALFUNCTION ALLOWING SUPPLY FUEL TO BE DRAWN FROM ONE TANK AND A PORTION OF THE UNUSED FUEL TO BE RETURNED TO THE OTHER TANK. AS A RESULT, THE OTHER TANK COULD POSSIBLY BE OVERFILLED, RESULTING IN OVERFLOW OF FUEL PAST THE FILLER CAP. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, THE POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE MAY EXIST. CORRECTION: A DFR CONTAINING "O" RINGS MANUFACTURED FROM REVISED MATERIAL WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
