Recalls

Feed fuel hoses can harden and "set" over time, allowing a seepage of fuel at the connection between the hose and the engine fitting. The clamp used to hold the hose to the fitting IS unable to compensate for the hardening of the feed fuel hose.
Risk and remedy
Risk
Fuel seepage between the feed fuel hose and the engine fitting can result in free fuel in the engine compartment, which could result in a fire when exposed to a source of ignition.
Remedy
A redesigned feed fuel hose and hose clamp will be installed to alleviate the fuel seepage.
Some of these vehicles are equipped with a throttle housing on which the throttle valve shaft retaining nut was not sufficiently tightened.
Risk and remedy
Risk
If the nut were to loosen, movement of the throttle valvecould be impaired, resulting in the vehicle being unable to decelerate when thegas pedal IS released.
Remedy
Those throttle housings with suspect manufacturing codes will have the throttle valve shift retaining nut torque tested, and those with insufficient nut torque will be replaced.
