The problem

Due to routing of fuel line from the fuel tank to rear fuel pump, the fuel line may be damaged under certain driving conditions. On full travel of left rear suspension (jounce), the bracket for the brake pad wear indicator wire on left rear control arm could contact and damage fuel line.

The risk

A damaged fuel line may result in a fuel leak which mayignite, resulting in a fire.

The fix

Replace damaged fuel line: in addition all fuel lines will be rerouted so that the brake pad wear indicator wire bracket cannot contact fuel line.
