Details
What's wrong: Metal fuel lines with an incorrect contour were installed in the engine compartment. The incorrect contour can cause the metal fuel line to rub against the intake manifold.
Why it matters: Prolonged rubbing of the fuel line against the intakemanifold could cause a fuel line leak, and result in an engine compartment fireif the leaking fuel line is exposed to a source of ignition.
The fix: Replace fuel line with correctly contoured fuel line.
