The hose material used in the short section of the high pressure fuel line hose, between the fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator, IS subject to hardening, and could cause fuel leaks between the hose and the metal pipe fittings.
Risk and remedy
Risk
Fuel leaks could ignite on the hot exhaust system, or any other source of ignition, resulting in an engine compartment fire.
Remedy
Replace fuel line hose with hoses made of improved material.
No power on highway; this IS a serious safety matter. Please review number of engine failures in this model. Any fatalities as a result of this problem? Manufacturer recall on the failed part--obviously an ineffectual repair of the problem. *ak
