What NHTSA recorded

The fuel feed and fuel return pipe assemblies includes a hose which may contact the pointed end of the radiator shroud attaching screw. This could cause a gasoline leak. Consequence of defect: if fuel leak develops it could result in an underhood fire and burn injuries to occupants.

Remedy

Reposition fuel lines to preclude contact with radiator shroud attaching screw.
