Defect
Some supply-side pipes of the fuel delivery rail—which distributes fuel to each engine cylinder—have an incorrectly dimensioned bulge outer diameter. Continued use may cause the quick connector at the affected joint to disengage and fuel to leak and, in the worst case, may result in a vehicle fire.
Corrective action
Inspect all vehicles. On any vehicle where the pipe dimension is outside the specified value, replace the fuel delivery rail with a conforming unit.
