Recall 99V317000: Fuel Pump Electric Connector Corrosion

Electrical current to the fuel pump passes through the C304 and C305 connectors. If exposed to moisture, these connectors could corrode. Over time, the fuel pump will not receive enough current to operate.

This condition could cause the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will replace the existing connectors and reposition those connectors to an area where the placement is designed to prevent contact with moisture.
