    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.

    Remedy: Replace fuel line hose with hoses made of improved material.

    Rear spring plates may not have been tempered and are not of the proper hardness value. Consequence of defect: the plates could crack and/or break, affect lateral guidance of the rear wheel, and result in loss of control of the car which may cause an accident.
