Details

What's wrong: Some of these vehicles may have been built with inadequate clearance between the fuel line and the cab underbody.

Why it matters: This contact can result in wear, and after extended contact, could cause a perforation in the fuel line, resulting in leakage. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the vehicles for proper clearance. Fuel lines that exhibit inadequate clearance will be replaced with a redesigned fuel line that will assure proper clearance.
