Defect
In the fuel system, the seals at the junctions between the rubber fuel hoses and metal fuel pipes (both supply and return sides) in the engine compartment are improperly formed. Continued use allows fuel to leak from these junctions and, in the worst case, can result in a vehicle fire.

Replace the rubber fuel hoses and metal fuel pipes on all vehicles with corrected parts. Additionally, install a protective case on the portion of the air conditioning line that runs near the fuel hose routing.
