The zinc-plating on the fuel return line may break away when contacted by road debris, causing two dissimilar metals on the fuel line to contact each other and corrode.
The risk
A corroded fuel line can leak fuel, increasing the risk of a fire.

Roush will work with the affected vehicle manufacturers and their dealers to replace the fuel return lines, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a schedule for recall notification. Owners may contact Roush's customer service at 1-800-597-6874. Roush's number for this recall is EQ-J2044.
