The problem

The fuel hose attached to the fuel distribution rail on the engine may shrink beyond the clamp force of the fuel hose clamps, allowing fuel to leak.

The risk

Fuel leakage in the engine compartment can cause an underhood fire if the fuel comes in contact with a source of ignition.

The fix

Replace the fuel hose attached to the fuel rail and install a new spring type self-tightening clamp.
