Defect
Foreign matter contaminated the fuel return hose — which routes fuel from the fuel injection system back to the tank — during the manufacturing process, resulting in insufficient hose strength. Continued use may cause the hose to crack. In the worst case, fuel leaks from the crack and may result in a vehicle fire.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the manufacturing date of the fuel return hose and replace any hose within the affected date range with a non-defective part.
