Summary

Some customers may complain that it is difficult to open/close the fuel-filler lid when pressed. This is caused by production variances, where if there is an excess gap (3) between the fuel-filler lid panel (1) and the fuel-filler box hinge (2), the operation stroke may be larger than designed and result in a difficult to lock/unlock operation of the fuel-filler lid lock actuator. To eliminate this concern, the operation stroke of the fuel-filler lid lock actuator rod has been changed to reduce the play of the actuator rod.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 17 complaints in the body category.
