The issue
On certain vehicles, the bracket that covers the fuel hose connector is normally secured with a nut and bolt, however during assembly the nut was omitted. In the event of a crash, the bracket may become loose which could result in damage to the fuel hose connector. A damaged connector could lead to a fuel leak and increases the risk of fire causing property damages and personal injuries. Correction: Dealers will inspect affected vehicles and install a nut on the fuel feed hose bracket.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, le support qui couvre le raccord de tuyau de carburant est fixé à l'aide d'un boulon et d'un écrou; cependant, pendant le montage, l'écrou n'a pas été posé. En cas d'accident, le support pourrait se desserrer, ce qui pourrait endommager le raccord de tuyau de carburant. Un raccord endommagé pourrait provoquer une fuite de carburant et augmenter les risques d'incendie endommageant des biens matériels et blessant des personnes. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter les véhicules visés et poser un écrou sur le support de tuyau d'alimentation en carburant.
