The defect
On the involved vehicles, the incorrect fuel hose pipe was installed. Consequently, the needed special reinforcement, used to help prevent rupture of the hose and spillage of fuel resulting from an impact from the side, was omitted. This would constitute a non-compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 310, "fuel system integrity".
The remedy
Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, install the correct fuel hose without charge to owner.
