|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | January 24, 2002 |

| Vehicles affected | 205,376 units |
Defect
In the fuel system, the material used for the fuel hose on naturally aspirated electronically controlled fuel injection engines is inappropriate. High temperatures cause the hose to lose flexibility. Continued use allows engine vibration and related forces to produce a fuel leak at the connection between the fuel hose and the fuel injection system. In the worst case, a vehicle fire may result.
Corrective action
Replace the fuel hose with a corrected part on all vehicles.
