Description (français)

Il se peut que le tuyau de carburant monté sur la rampe de distribution située dans le compartiment moteur ne soit pas adéquatement bridé et qu'il se produise une fuite à cet endroit. Le carburant pourrait alors s'écouler sur des pièces chaudes du moteur et causer un incendie. Correction: Le tuyau de carburant monté sur la rampe de distribution devra être remplacé et les brides devront être remplacées par des nouveaux colliers-ressorts.
