Issue

Issue:
On certain vehicles, the fuel line to the high-pressure fuel pump could leak. This may cause a gasoline odour or leak.

Safety Risk:
Leaking fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, creates the risk of a fire.

Corrective Actions:
The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer for repair. A fuel pressure damper will be installed in the low pressure fuel supply located inside the fuel tank.
