What is wrong
ON CERTAIN SUPERCHARGED VEHICLES, THE FUEL LINE CROSSOVER HOSE SITS TOO CLOSE TO THE EGR VALVE, CAUSING THE HOSE TO BECOME TOO HOT AND BURN THROUGH, LEAKING FUEL.
What can happen
FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, CAN RESULT IN A FIRE.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW BRACKET WHICH WILL LOWER THE HOSE AND RELOCATES IT IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT, AWAY FROM THE EGR VALVE. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING DECEMBER 2002.

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.
