NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
THESE VEHICLES WERE EQUIPPED WITH INCORRECT FUEL TUBES AND REAR FUEL HOSES. THIS MAY CAUSE THE FUEL HOSE TO CONTACT THE LEFT EXHAUST OUTLET PIPE. THE HEAT FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE WILL DETERIORATE THE HOSE AND CAUSE A FUEL LEAK TO DEVELOP.
The remedy
THE DEALER WILL MODIFY THE FUEL TUBE ROUTING AND SHORTEN THE HOSE TO PROVIDE THE SPECIFIED CLEARANCE AT NO COST TO OWNER.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
