ISSUE:
Some vehicles equipped with the Easy Fuel Capless Fuel System may exhibit a concern where a fuel nozzle cannot be inserted and/or removed.
This concern may be caused by a problem with the fuel station nozzle.
The sleeve at the tip of the spout may be missing, not allowing the nozzle to be inserted, or could be loose/gapped not allowing the nozzle to be removed once inserted.
