On certain vehicles, the rubber portion of the fuel injection pipe clamps could deteriorate. Normal vehicle operation could cause the deteriorated clamp to loosen and drop. If this condition occurs in the area of the fuel injection pump, the engine starter could short circuit if the clamp drops onto the starter terminal. This could prevent the engine from starting. In the worst case, excessive heat from the short circuit could cause a fire. Correction: Dealers will replace the outer portion of each of the four fuel injection pipe clamps.
