-
Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings (fuel system)
The fuel tubes (fuel tank to pump) on the involved vehicles may be routed such that tube to underbody reinforcement flange interference may result during vehicle operation. Tube abrasion caused by such interference may result in fuel leakage.
Remedy: Dealer will reroute the fuel tube or install a new fuel tube, if damaged, without charge to owner.
-
Driveline (power train)
The front driving axle wheel hubs on the involved vehicles may fail due to improperly machined spindles. This error may prevent the wheel hub and bearing from seating properly, causing bearing failure and eventual hub fracture. Also, the front wheel could detach due to hub fracture.
Remedy: The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, install a new front axle assembly, without charge to owner.
