On certain vehicles equipped with a 2.3L engine, the fuel line in the area of the throttle body shield may not have the protective convolute properly installed. If the protective convolute on the fuel line is not assembled in the proper position, the fuel line may contact the edge of the shield. Over time this contact may chafe the fuel line, resulting in a fuel leak. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will trim the throttle body shield, inspect the fuel line for damage, and replace the line if necessary.
