Default 06 Durango Gas out of filler

I bought an 06 D approx. 3 months ago and last time I filled up I put the pump down and gas came gushing out the filler opening. I researched 06 D problems before I bought it and did note that there was a recall on some D's. My D does not have any outstanding recalls. I filled up today with no problem. I also noticed there are two small paint bubbles below the gas door. Please advise if i need to replace something or if this is a one time thing or how to fix?

There is a long thread about this problem. In short, call your dealer with your VIN and it most likely is a recall for the tank and filler tube.

There is no recall for my D. Can I just change the filler neck?

There is an updated filler tube. It's a PITA to do it without a lift. Send me the last 8 of the VIN so I can confirm it's not under recall.

Can't be worse than changing the heater core on my 98 D. I checked with the dealer today but if you will verify the vin is 6F124084. Thanks.

It won't show up under recalls on most when they search it. It's under the warranty coverage.

Yours is covered,

Thanks for the info. I would have never guessed that the dealer wouldn't check the warranty as well. Is there a place I can look this stuff up?

They may have just looked at the recall section by just going off what you said. I woul think today they are probably swamped with last minute oil change crowds. Call them back and ask for service manager. Ask him to look in the warranty coverage part at the very bottom. It's on a different page.

The technical service bulletin related to this warranty extension is 14-002-13 You can also refernce that when you call back.

SUBJECT:
Fuel Spit Back During Refueling Due To Inlet Check Valve (X48 Lifetime Warranty
Extension)
OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves replacing the fuel filler tube if the condition occurs.

2005-2006 HB Durango.

Thanks again. They said the neck and tank probably need to be replaced.
