Known issues on the 1982 Firenza. One recall appears for the 1982 Firenza. Certain 1982 Firenza passenger vehicles used clamps on the fuel filler neck and its vent line that could crack, so fuel might seep from the joints where those pipes meet their hoses, either while refueling or on the road with the tank more than three-quarters full. Dealers inspected and replaced the clamps. The fuel system procedures, specifications and torque values in the manual address the filler and vent plumbing involved, along with the other fuel, engine and chassis systems of the hatchback and sedan.
