The defect

The fuel hose to the fuel filter IS routed too close to the alternator belt causing the alternator belt to rub the fuel hose. This can cause a fuel leak.

The risk

Fuel leakage can result in a vehicle fire if an ignition source IS present.

The remedy

Dealers will strap the fuel hose to the chassis frame to insure a minimum of 2 1/2" clearance between the fuel hose and the alternator belt.
