The problem

The high tension lead from the ignition coil can move from the production location closer to the #4a fuel injector hose. This could lead to the outer and inner injector hoses cracking or splitting from ozone deterioration.

The risk

Splitting of the injector hoses would cause expulsion offuel in the engine compartment and result in a fire when exposed to a source ofignition.

The fix

Replace the high tension leads with shorter high tension leads. Replace both the fuel injector and the #4a fuel injector hose as necessary.
