Recall 1983037

The issue

VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 2.3 LITRE TURBO ENGINES. iNADEQUATE CONNECTIONS ON THE FUEL SUPPLY LINES AT THE INLET TO THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE AND AT THE CONNECTION OF THE FLEXIBLE SUPPLY LINE TO THE METALLIC FUEL TUBE COULD RESULT IN FUEL LINE SEPARATION. THIS WOULD CAUSE FUEL TO BE PUMPED FROM THE DISENGAGED LINE BY THE ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, FUEL SPILLAGE COULD PRESENT THE POTENTIAL FOR FIRE.

Description (français)

Si le raccordement de la conduite d'alimentation au détendeur ou celui de la conduite métallique flexible d'alimentation à la conduite rigide est fait au moyen de raccords qui ne conviennent pas, ces conduite peuvent se détacher. La pompe électrique déverse alors le carburant par la conduite détachée dans le compartiment moteur. En présence d'une source d'inflammtion, cela constitue un risque d'incendie.
