Recall # 06133: Aveo & Wave; FUEL LINE LEAK
PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL #06133DATED: NOVEMBER, 2006
CONDITION
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2006-07 Chevrolet Aveo and Pontiac Wave sedan vehicles equipped with a 1.4L or 1.6L engine. In a severe frontal crash test, the fuel line in the engine compartment fractured. In addition, the fuse block shorted, allowing the fuel pump to continue running and fuel leaked onto the ground. If these conditions occurred in an actual crash, a vehicle fire could occur if a sufficient amount of fuel leaked out and a source of ignition were present.
CORRECTION
Dealers are to replace the fuse block to prevent a possible short-circuit and install a new section of fuel line that has been redesigned.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
Owner mailing is scheduled to begin NOVEMBER 16, 2006.
