The issue
THE SHORT SECTION OF HIGH PRESSURE FUEL HOSE BETWEEN THE FUEL RAIL AND THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR, WHICH RUNS ALONGSIDE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD, MAY BE SUBJECT TO HARDENING. IN THE EVENT THAT THIS LINE DOES HARDEN, FUEL LEAKS COULD DEVELOP BETWEEN THE HOSE AND METAL PIPE FITTINGS. LEAKING FUEL COULD IGNITE ON THE HOT EXHAUST SYSTEM AND LEAD TO AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE. CORRECTION: FUEL HOSE WILL BE REPLACED ON 924S, 944 AND 944 TURBO VEHICLES AND THE FUEL HOSE AND FUEL RAIL WILL BE REPLACED ON 944S VEHICLES.
Description (français)
La section courte de conduite de carburant haute pression, montée entre la rampe d'injection et le régulateur de pression, le long du collecteur d'admission, est susceptible au durcissement. Un tel durcissement pourrait causer des fuites de carburant entre la conduite et les raccords de tuyau métalliques. Le carburant qui fuit pourrait alors s'enflammer au contact des parties chaudes du circuit d'échappement et causer un incendie dans le compartiment moteur.
