Description:
Recall: 1998 Mazda B4000
Component: FUEL:FUEL LINES:HOSES:NON-METALLIC
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 97V186000
Manufacturer: FORD MOTOR COMPANY
Potential Number of Units Affected: 2357Summary:
Vehicle Description: Light duty pickup trucks equipped with 4.0L engines.
The flexible section of the chassis mounted fuel line that connects to the
engine was routed too close to the exhaust manifold. The line could contact the
manifold.
This could potentially result in damage to the fuel line, or in some cases,
cause a fuel leak. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could
result in a fire.
Dealers will install an additional clip to hold the fuel line in the intended
design position.
Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon
service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should
contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673. Also contact the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration''s Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
