The problem
Fuel supply tubes installed in the affected vehicles are too short. Consequently, flexible hoses that attach to the tubes may be taut and this would have an adverse effect on the durability of hose connections. In the event of hose separation, some fuel spillage would occur.
The fix
Upon inspection, dealer will install a new fuel hose of the correct length.
