What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

THE INTERMEDIATE FUEL SUPPLY AND RETURN LINES WERE SPLICED USING RUBBER HOSE AND WORM-DRIVE CLAMPS. THE RUBBER HOSE RUPTURES DUE TO THE PRESSURE GENERATED BY THE FUEL PUMP, RESULTING IN A FUEL LEAK.

The risk

THE RUPTURED HOSE SPRAYS FUEL ONTO THE HOT EXHAUST SYSTEM AND RESULTS IN AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE.

The remedy

RUBBER HOSE AND CLAMP WILL BE REPLACED WITH THE STEEL BRAIDED FUEL LINES AND FITTINGS.

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.
