The issue
NOTE: THIS RECALL SUPERSEDES RECALL 88164. VEHICLES LOCATED IN THE YUKON, NOTHWEST TERRITORIES, ALBERTA, EASTERN BRITISH COLUMBIA, N.W. ONTARIO, MANITOBA AND SASKATCHEWAN. A SHORT, U-SHAPED NYLON FUEL TUBE (JUMPER TUBE) LOCATED ON THE LEFT-HAND FRAME RAIL CONNECTING THE FUEL PUMP TO THE FUEL FILTER COULD DEVELOP PIN HOLES IN THE TUBING WALL. IF THIS CONDITION SHOULD OCCUR, IT WOULD ALLOW FUEL TO LEAK AND A FIRE COULD RESULT. CORRECTION: A STEEL BRAIDED TEFLON FUEL SUPPLY LINE AND RELATED COMPONENTS WILL BE INSTALLED WHICH WILL GROUND THE FUEL LINE AND ELIMINATE THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE. THE U-SHAPED NYLON JUMPER TUBE WILL BE ELIMINATED BY THIS REPLACEMENT FUEL SYSTEM.
