What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. It is possible that the fuel supply line could leak due to chaffing with the intake manifold and/or the fuel return line could leak due to chaffing with a spring band clamp used to secure a coolant line.

Possible consequence

The leaking fuel could come into contact with the exhaust system, increasing the risk of a fire.

Remedy

Dealers will install a protective sheath on the fuel supply line. In addition, for vehicles produced between april 7 and may 22, 2000, the spring band clamp will be replaced with a screw type hose clamp and installed in such a way that it cannot come into contact with the fuel return line. Owner notification began february 1, 2001.
