4X4 VEHICLES WITH 2.3L ENGINES AND ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION. THE NYLON FUEL SUPPLY AND RETURN LINES MAY BE IMPROPERLY ROUTED ALONG THE FRAME SIDE RAIL. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, A MISROUTED LINE COULD MOVE OUT OF ITS INSTALLED POSITION AND COME IN CONTACT WITH A UNIVERSAL JOINT ON THE FRONT DRIVE-SHAFT. SUCH CONTACT COULD RESULT IN ABRASION OF THE LINES AND EVENTUAL LOW PRESSURE FUEL LEAKAGE. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE FIRE WOULD EXIST.
