The issue
On certain vehicles and replacement engines, the fastening screws for the fuel collection pipes could shear off due to stress corrosion cracking. If this occurs, fuel could leak into the engine compartment which, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the fastening screws of each of the collection pipes with new and improved screws.
Description (français)
Les vis de fixation des canalisations de collecte de carburant sur certains véhicules et certains moteurs de remplacement pourraient se cisailler en raison de fissures causées par de la corrosion sous contrainte. Dans ce cas, du carburant pourrait couler dans le compartiment moteur et s'enflammer en présence d'une source d'ignition, causant des blessures et/ou des dommages aux biens. Correction : Les concessionnaires doivent remplacer les vis de fixation de chaque canalisation de collecte par de nouvelles vis améliorées.
