FUEL LEAK @/ON THE RUBBER HOSE WHERE THE FUEL LINE CONNECTS TO THE EJECTOR RAIL. DETECTED LEAK WHEN AIR TEMPERATURE DROPPED TO LESS THAN 40F AND ENGINE WAS STARTED. GASOLINE SPOT 6" DIA 1/4"DEEP LEFT ON CARPORT CONCRETE. FUEL LEAK IS ON THE RUBBER HOSE WHERE THE FUEL LINE CONNECTS @ THE INJECTOR RAIL. (LEFT SIDE OF ENGINE) LEAKS WHEN IGNITION ACTIVATES FUEL PUMP AND CONTINUES UNTIL HOSE IS WARMED TO MAKE FLEXIBLE AND SEAL BREAK IN HOSE. THIS GAS LEAKS ONTO ELECTRICAL WIRING AND "HOT" ENGINE PARTS. AS THIS HAPPENS ONLY ON START-UP WITH COLD WEATHER, COULD GO UNNOTICED UNTIL IGNITING OR ACCIDENT.

IT IS POSSIBLE FOR A MIXTURE OF MUD AND SALT TO GET TRAPPED BETWEEN THE FUEL FILLER TUBE AND WHEEL HOUSING. THE TRAPPED MUD AND SALT CAN RESULT IN CORROSION OF THE FUEL FILLER TUBE AND THE WHEEL HOUSING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: SIGNIFICANT CORROSION OF THE FUEL FILLER TUBE MAY RESULT IN FUEL LEAKS WHICH IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. IN ADDITION, THE LEFT REAR SEAT BELT RETRACTOR IS MOUNTED TO THE WHEEL HOUSING AND IN THE EVENT OF SIGNIFICANT CORROSION, AND THE MOUNTING COULD FAIL IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THESE VEHICLES AND CORRECTIVE ACTION WILL BE TAKEN DEPENDING UPON THE EXTENT OF THE CORROSION.
THE ALUMINUM WHEELS WERE CLEAR COATED SEVERAL TIMES TO PROTECT THE METAL FINISH. SOME EXCESSIVE COATING CAN LEAVE THE WHEEL NUTS AN EXCESSIVE DISTANCE FROM THE WHEEL HUB WHEN TIGHTENED, ALLOWING THEM TO LOOSEN OVER TIME.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CAN CAUSE THE HUB BOLTS TO BREAK AND RESULT IN THE WHEEL SEPARATING FROM THE VEHICLE AND A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE CLEAR PLASTIC COATING FROM THE BRAKE ROTOR MATING SURFACE ON THE BACK OF EACH WHEEL AND FROM THE WHEEL NUT MATING SURFACES. THE WHEELS WILL BE REINSTALLED AND THE WHEEL NUTS TIGHTENED. WHEELS, HUB BOLTS, AND NUTS WILL BE REPLACED IF NECESSARY.
