The issue

On certain vehicles, the use of selected ethanol fuels may cause the aluminium fuel rails to corrode. This could result in plugged fuel injector(s), causing a rough engine idle and/or the illumination of the engine warning lamp. Corrosion may also cause a pinhole to develop on the fuel rail, which could result in fuel leakage. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a vehicle fire. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel rails.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, le fait d'utiliser certains carburants à l'éthanol pourrait faire corroder les rampes d'alimentation en carburant en aluminium. Cela pourrait boucher un ou plusieurs injecteurs de carburant, ce qui ferait en sorte que le ralenti soit irrégulier ou que le voyant du moteur s'allume. La corrosion pourrait aussi faire en sorte qu'il se forme une piqûre dans la rampe d'alimentation en carburant, ce qui pourrait produire une fuite de carburant. En présence d'une source d'inflammation, une fuite de carburant pourrait provoquer un incendie. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les rampes d'alimentation en carburant.
