What NHTSA recorded

Fuel leakage may develop at the two main fuel rail connections. Deterioration at these two connections has been traced to a combination of misalignment of the two rail halves and the effect of temperature changes.

Remedy

Dealer will replace the current two piece fuel rail with a new part kit of single piece design.
