The problem
Certain trucks have fuel rail assemblies with an improperly crimped end retainer clip that results in a fuel leak.
The risk
If fuel leakage occurs and an ignition source is present, an engine compartment fire could occur.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the fuel rail assembly and replace any fuel rail assembly with a julian date code of 95318 through 95338.
