Details

What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, a fuel supply line was changed during production which could lead to insufficient sealing of the fuel supply line connector.

Why it matters: This condition could lead to a fuel leak. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.

The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the fuel supply line, if necessary. The recall is expected to begin during February 2008.
