Recall Campaign No.128 - Fuel Rail

Background

In some cases, the service nipple of the fuel rail, which distributes fuel into the engine, may come loose due to an improper weld. When this occurs, a fuel odor may be present and fuel leakage is possible. The corrective action will be to install a clamp to the fuel rail to secure the service nipple, and if necessary, replacing the fuel rail.
