2002 Pontiac Bonneville recalls, newest first

July 1, 2003NHTSA 03V238000102,212 vehicles potentially affected

Fuel system, gasoline › Storage › Tank assembly

Summary: On certain Cadillac deville and seville passenger vehicles, funeral coaches, and limousines equipped with a V8 (4.6L) engine, Oldsmobile aurora passenger vehicles equipped with a V8 (4.0L ) engine, and Pontiac bonneville ssei passenger vehicles equipped with a supercharged V6 (3.8L) engine, the fuel tank pressure sensors are unusually susceptible to malfunctions. If the sensor malfunctions, excessive vacuum can be applied during self-diagnostic testing.
Consequence: Fuel system components can be damaged and fuel can leak from the vehicle when it is refueled. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the fuel tank pressure sensor. Owner notification began on October 17, 2003. Owners should contact Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339; Oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537; or Pontiac at 1-800-620-7668.
