IN THE WORST CASE, NOZZLE BREAKAGE COULD RESULT IN FUEL LEAKAGE IF THE VEHICLE ROLLS-OVER AFTER A HIGH SPEED FRONTAL CRASH.
ON SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THERE IS A BREATHER HOSE THAT ATTACHES TO THE NOZZLE OF THE ON-BOARD REFUELING VAPOR RECOVERY (ORVR) VALVE, WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE TOPSIDE OF THE FUEL TANK. THE BREATHER HOSE IS ATTACHED WITH A CLAMP, WHOSE "TABS" FACE IN THE UPWARD DIRECTION. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS CRASHED UNDER THE NEW CAR ASSESSMENT PROGRAM (NCAP) TEST (I.E., 35 MPH FRONTAL BARRIER CRASH), THE CLAMP "TABS" CONTACTED THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BODY DUE TO MOVEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK, CAUSING THE NOZZLE TO BREAK.

I traded in a mint condition $115k Audi S8 with 80k miles that had expired registration and $2500 in back fees, the track tires and wheels alone cost $8000. Book value was an easy $12,000, they said they would take care of that but could only "give" me $4500 because of that DMV expense "that they would be taking care of". So I needed the car for my wife's business so what the heck. They did not take care of the DMV fees and I am technically on the hook for them. I intend to take this to court as I can prove taking car of this was part of the deal, they had a dmv printout that showed the current liability at the time. Find another dealer, this one is low class. They also said it had a second key and didn't, refused to cover their cost of a new key fob.
