On certain vehicles with diesel engines, the front fuel feed and/or return lines can contact the automatic transmission shift linkage cordon shaft and/or, on k models, the front propshaft. The fuel line could wear through allowing diesel fuel to leak near the exhaust crossover pipe possibly resulting in an engine compartment fire. Correction: A newly designed fuel line routing bracket will be installed. Additionally, the fuel lines will be inspected for wear and if necessary, replaced.
