What NHTSA recorded

An improper transmission shift bracket was installed which, because of its design, could contact and abrade the fuel hose. Fuel leakage and possible accumulation of fuel on a surface beneath a parked vehicle could result.

Remedy

The dealer will replace the transmission shift bracket and its related parts, including the fuel hose if found necessary, free of charge.
