What is wrong

The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
THE DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, CORRECT THE ALIGNMENT OF THE FUEL PIPE BRACKET. IF DAMAGED, THE FUEL PIPE WILL ALSO BE REPLACED.

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.
