Recall 1994072

The issue

THE FUEL FEED AND RETURN HOSES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT COULD "SETTLE" OVER TIME WHICH COULD CAUSE THE FASTENING CLAMPS TO LOSE THEIR TIGHT FIT AND PERMIT FUEL TO SEEP OUT AT THE HOSE CONNECTIONS. FUEL SEEPAGE COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE. CORRECTION: HOSES AND CLAMPS WILL BE REPLACED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.

Description (français)

Les canalisations d'alimentation et de retour du carburant qui se trouvent dans le compartiment moteur peuvent se «tasser» avec les années et il se peut alors que les brides de serrage ne soient plus aussi solides et permettent des fuites de carburant au niveau des raccords. Ces fuites de carburant pourraient être à l'origine d'un incendie dans le compartiment moteur. Correction: Les canalisations et les brides devront être remplacées sur les véhicules visés.
