What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: light duty 4x2 and 4x4 pickup trucks equipped with 4.0l engines. The flexible section of the chassis mounted fuel line that connects to the engine was routed too close to the exhaust manifold. The line could contact the manifold.

This could potentially result in damage to the fuel line, or in some cases, cause a fuel leak. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.

Remedy

Dealers will install an additional clip to hold the fuel line in the intended design position.
