The problem
Certain vehicles equipped with supercharged 2.0L 4-cylinder (lsj) engine were built with a fuel feed pipe that could crack and leak fuel near the fuel rail. If fuel leaks from the fuel feed pipe, there would be a noticeable fuel odor around the vehicle.
The risk
Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will replace the fuel feed pipe assembly. Owner notification began on june 9, 2004. Owners should contact saturn at 1-800-972-8876.
