The issue
On certain vehicles, high pressure fuel lines and transfer tubes may fatigue and fracture, causing a diesel fuel leak. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel lines and transfer tubes with more robust versions.
