Details

What's wrong: The fuel hose in the engine compartment may leak at the lower connecting point of the transition hose, between the underbody fuel line and the schrader valve and/or where the fuel line connects to the fuel pump.

Why it matters: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

The fix: Dvusa will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected hose and clamp, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin January 25, 2019.
