The issue
On certain vehicles equipped with a diesel engine, the fuel filter assembly may develop a leak from the fuel heater o-ring seal. Diesel fuel spilt on the roadway could endanger other road users by making the roadway unexpectedly slippery. This could ultimately result in a vehicle crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the diesel fuel filter assembly.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules à moteur diesel, le filtre à carburant pourrait se mettre à fuir au niveau du joint torique du chauffe-carburant. Du diesel sur la chaussée pourrait mettre en danger les autres usagers de la route en rendant la chaussée glissante. Cela pourrait causer un accident, endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter et, le cas échéant, remplacer le filtre à carburant diesel.
