Details

What's wrong: During the manufacture of certain fuel return hoses, incorrect rubber material for the outer layer was used.

Why it matters: The fuel return hose does not meet ozone-resistant specifications, and could ultimately crack, causing fuel leakage. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the vehicle to determine if the vehicle was equipped with an incorrect hose. If it is incorrect, dealers will replace it.
