Source: NHTSA recall 02V335000 and manufacturer quarterly reports. Started by the manufacturer.
The problem
ON CERTAIN SUPERCHARGED VEHICLES, THE FUEL LINE CROSSOVER HOSE SITS TOO CLOSE TO THE EGR VALVE, CAUSING THE HOSE TO BECOME TOO HOT AND BURN THROUGH, LEAKING FUEL.
The risk
FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, CAN RESULT IN A FIRE.
The fix
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW BRACKET WHICH WILL LOWER THE HOSE AND RELOCATES IT IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT, AWAY FROM THE EGR VALVE. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING DECEMBER 2002.
