Details
What's wrong: The flexible fuel hose leading from the fuel distributor can chafe against the rigid lines of the fuel feed and the return lines. Continued chafing of the flexible fuel hose can lead to fuel leakage.
Why it matters: Fuel leakage, in the presence on an ignition source, could result in a fire.
The fix: Dealers will replace the right side flexible hose with one with a braided cover to prevent chafing. Owner notification began October 16, 2001.
