Recall 1985042

The issue

4X4 VEHICLES WITH 2.3L ENGINES AND ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION. THE NYLON FUEL SUPPLY AND RETURN LINES MAY BE IMPROPERLY ROUTED ALONG THE FRAME SIDE RAIL. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, A MISROUTED LINE COULD MOVE OUT OF ITS INSTALLED POSITION AND COME IN CONTACT WITH A UNIVERSAL JOINT ON THE FRONT DRIVE-SHAFT. SUCH CONTACT COULD RESULT IN ABRASION OF THE LINES AND EVENTUAL LOW PRESSURE FUEL LEAKAGE. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE FIRE WOULD EXIST.

Description (français)

Les conduites en nylon d'alimentation et de retour peuvent être mal montées le long du longeron du châssis. Dans certaines conditions, une conduite mal montée peut se détacher du longeron et toucher un joint de cardan de l'essieu avant. La conduite s'use alors par frottement et provoque une fuite de carburant du circuit basse pression. Le véhicule risque de prendre feu en présence d'une source d'inflammation.
