What’s wrong

Fuel reaching purge valves could affect functionality of the fuel EVAP system. This could allow contact between fuel vapour and hot gasses leading to a risk of fire;. This risk may be increased with unapproved aftermarket exhaust systems.
The fix
On affected vehicles upgrade the EVAP system.
