What's wrong, in plain English

On some Honda Ridgeline trucks, exposure to acids, such as those found in car wash soaps, can cause the fuel pump's feed port to crack. A cracked feed port can let pressurized fuel inside the fuel system leak out. Because the fuel is under pressure when it leaks, this increases the chance that a fire could start. A fuel leak of this kind is considered a fire risk for the vehicle.

2. Contact a Honda dealer, or call Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
