What is wrong
THE FUEL HOSE TO THE FUEL FILTER IS ROUTED TOO CLOSE TO THE ALTERNATOR BELT CAUSING THE ALTERNATOR BELT TO RUB THE FUEL HOSE. THIS CAN CAUSE A FUEL LEAK.
What can happen
FUEL LEAKAGE CAN RESULT IN A VEHICLE FIRE IF AN IGNITION SOURCE IS PRESENT.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL STRAP THE FUEL HOSE TO THE CHASSIS FRAME TO INSURE A MINIMUM OF 2 1/2" CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE FUEL HOSE AND THE ALTERNATOR BELT.

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.
