Recall 00V253000: Potential Fuel Line/Hose Leak In Crash

Sport utility vehicles equipped with 4-wheel drive and automatic transmissions built with TOD (Torque-On-Demand). In certain high speed frontal crashes, an interior fuel line and fuel hose can be separated, allowing fuel to leak.

Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.

Dealers will install fuel system shields.
