On certain vehicles, fuel may weep or leak from one of the lower connecting points of the fuel hose. If this occurs, a fuel odour may be detected inside the vehicle. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the hose and clamp at the lower connecting point of the transition hose, between the underbody fuel line and the Schrader valve, and replace the hose at the upper connection of the fuel line to the fuel pump.
