Details

What's wrong: On certain motor homes built on Ford 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: Four winds is working with Ford to notify owners and have the repair performed on their vehicles. Ford dealers will install an external retention clip at the fuel jumper line to the main fuel bundle connection.
