Summary
On certain vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, the clutch pressure line may leak in the area of its connection with the clutch slave cylinder. This may result in loss of power assist to the steering or clutch system. If the hydraulic fluid comes in contact with hot exhaust components a fire could result. Correction: Clutch pressure line will be replaced and an additional bracket will be installed.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the fuel supply line may leak due to chafing with the intake manifold and/or the fuel return line may lead due to chafing with a spring band clamp used to secure a coolant line. A fuel leak, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. Correction: All affected vehicles will have a protective sheath installed on the fuel supply line. Also, on certain vehicles, the spring band clamp will be replaced with a screw type hose clamp and installed in such a way that it can not come into contact with the fuel return line.
