The Problem: During engine assembly, the fuel rail crossover tube may have been damaged and, over time, may result in a fuel leak, which in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

The Fix: Dealers will inspect the engine assembly for damage to the fuel rail crossover tube and replace it, as necessary, for free.
