2000–2001 Qag Mangusta recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. During first production, a metal overflow cup surrounding the fuel filler inlet was incorrectly installed.
💥 The risk
In the event of a crash, the metal cup could remain attached to the body causing the fuel filler neck to break resulting in fuel spillage and the risk of fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the fuel overflow cup. Owner notification began may 31, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact qvale at 1-800-390-9606.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
