What NHTSA recorded

Due to incorrect clipping of the fuel line at the right front inner fender splash panel, the line could sever or become partially cut by the lower edge of the splash panel, in the event of a vehicle impact. These vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 301, "fuel system integrity".

Remedy

Dealer will inspect fuel line clipping and, if necessary, clip to the proper location.
