2004 Buick Rendezvous & 2004 Pontiac Aztek recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain passenger vehicles, a weld between the fuel tank inlet check valve and the fuel tank CAN fail.
💥 The risk
If these parts separate, the driver may notice an odor of fuel, the service engine soon or check engine light may illuminate, and/or fuel may leak onto the ground. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the serial number of the fuel tank to see if it is on the list of affected tanks. If the serial number matches, the fuel tank will be replaced. Owner notification began november 4, 2003. Owners should contact buick at 1-866-608-8080 or pontiac at 1-800-620-7668.
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.)
