The issue
On certain vehicles, the fuel delivery pipes in the engine compartment may have been produced with particles from the anti-corrosion plating on the gasket seating surface where the fuel pressure sensor is installed. This could affect the sealing properties of the gasket seated between the pressure sensor and the pipe, potentially resulting in a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the gasket and repair the gasket seating surface.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, les conduites de carburant dans le compartiment moteur pourraient avoir été fabriquées avec des particules de la plaque anticorrosion sur la surface d'appui du joint d'étanchéité sur laquelle est posé le capteur de pression de carburant. Cela pourrait avoir une incidence sur l'étanchéité du joint entre le capteur de pression et le tuyau, ce qui pourrait causer une fuite de carburant. Une fuite de carburant, en présence d'une source d'inflammation, pourrait entraîner un incendie pouvant causer des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le joint d'étanchéité et réparer la surface d'appui de celui-ci.
