The defect

The involved vehicles may have been built with a fuel supply tube, routed in such a way that it interferes with the frame crossmember bracket. This tube IS located between the fuel pump and the fuel filter.

The remedy

The dealer will inspect the involved vehicles to ensure adequate fuel tube and frame crossmember bracket clearance. The dealer will also make sure that the tube IS securely clipped to maintain clearance to the bracket as well as other engine components. If the fuel supply tube IS found to be damaged from this contact with the crossmember bracket, it will be replaced at no charge.
