2004 Saturn Ion recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain vehicles equipped with supercharged 2.0L 4-CYLINDER (lsj) engine were built with a fuel feed pipe that could crack and leak fuel near the fuel rail. If fuel leaks from the fuel feed pipe, there would be a noticeable fuel odor around the vehicle.
💥 The risk
Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the fuel feed pipe assembly. Owner notification began on june 9, 2004. Owners should contact saturn at 1-800-972-8876.
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.)
