Details

What's wrong: The fuel lines may have been damaged during production, and could develop a leak. The leak could occur either through the fabric inlay at the end of the line, or, through a crack in the actual line.

Why it matters: Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.

The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the fuel lines free of charge. The recall began during April 2008.
