What's wrong, in plain English

In these vehicles, the weld joining the fuel tank to a vapor return line may not have been made well enough. Over time, this weak weld can fail. If it fails, fuel can leak out of the tank. A fuel leak that reaches a spark or flame can catch fire. To fix this, Honda will replace the entire fuel tank with a new one, at no cost to the owner.

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