Details

What's wrong: On certain pickup trucks and chassis cab vehicles equipped with 5.4L or 6.8L gasoline engines, the fuel jumper line may have an incorrect end form.

Why it matters: The fuel line may separate at the connection to the main fuel bundle. If the fuel line separates, an operator may notice a gasoline odor and/or fuel on the ground, loss of power, and the engine will eventually stall. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.

The fix: Dealers will install an external retention clip at the fuel jumper line to the main fuel bundle connection. The recall began on June 20, 2005.
