What is wrong
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, TWO FUEL LINE BRACKETS WERE INCORRECTLY POSITIONED, ALLOWING THE FUEL LINE TO COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE LEFT HAND FRONT BRAKE JOUNCE HOSE. CONTACT WITH THE FUEL LINE, WHICH HAS A METAL OUTER SHIELD, COULD CAUSE CHAFING OF THE BRAKE HOSE.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPOSITIONING THE BRACKETS TO REROUTE THE FUEL LINE. THE LEFT-HAND BRAKE JOUNCE HOSE WILL ALSO BE REPLACED IF CHAFING HAS OCCURRED.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
