What NHTSA recorded

The protective sleeve covering of the return fuel hose between the pressure regulator and fuel return pipe was shortened leaving part of the hose exposed. In some instances this part of the hose becomes kinked due to the engine compartment heat and/or the routing of the hose. Consequence of defect: if this occurs it could restrict and damage the return fuel hose which could lead to fuel leakage and cause an engine compartment fire.

Remedy

New hose will be installed with a longer preformed sleeve designed to prevent kinking. The replacement hose will be secured with screw tightened clamps on each end.
