Hyundai Elantra: Fuel System
Affects Hyundai Elantra · 2004 — about 8K vehicles.
The hazard
On certain vehicles, a fuel vapour tube hose clamp may not be positioned properly. The spring-type hose clamp contains ears that may be squeezed together with a tool to increase the diameter of the clamp to allow it to be installed on the vapour tube hose. Hyundai's specification requires the vapour tube hose clamp ears to not be directed toward the fuel tank. If a vehicle contains a vapour tube hose clamp that is mispositioned so one of its ears is facing toward the fuel tank and that vehicle is involved in a severe high speed crash, the damage to the vehicle may cause the mispositioned clamp ear to damage the fuel tank and fuel spillage may occur. Fuel spillage in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire. Correction: Dealer will inspect the position of the vapour tube hose clamp ears and will correctly position the clamp, if necessary.
