Defect
Inadequate work instruction verification for the fuel hose-to-fuel pipe connection procedure results in some fuel line joints being insufficiently seated. This causes fuel seepage at the joint. In the worst case, the joint separates completely, fuel leaks, the engine stalls, and the vehicle cannot be restarted.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the fuel line joint for proper engagement and secure the connection fully.
