| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | I had a fuel pump flange crack and leak fuel when tank was filled. Also, the check engine light threw codes relating to small leaks in the system and as such wouldn't pass state inspection. I had to get these fixed -- basically both sides (fuel pump/filter/sending unit) at the cost of almost $1,000 at a local shop. All vin searches didn't show that my car was under recall for the fuel system, however i noticed that many other models in year 2011-2012 were under recall: see nhtsa campaign id #12v557000. I believe this model should be included in this recall. |
