What is wrong
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. A fuel feed line connecting the fuel filter to the engine can prematurely age and shrink through exposure to high under hood temperature caused by the turbocharger.
The risk
This can result in fuel seepage at the connection.
The fix
Dealers will replace the entire fuel feed line from the fuel filter to the engine with a fuel line of shrinkage-proof material.
