THE HOSE MATERIAL USED IN THE SHORT SECTION OF THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE HOSE, BETWEEN THE FUEL RAIL AND FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR, IS SUBJECT TO HARDENING, AND COULD CAUSE FUEL LEAKS BETWEEN THE HOSE AND THE METAL PIPE FITTINGS. Remedy: REPLACE FUEL LINE HOSE WITH HOSES MADE OF IMPROVED MATERIAL.
THE PROTECTIVE SLEEVE COVERING OF THE RETURN FUEL HOSE BETWEEN THE PRESSURE REGULATOR AND FUEL RETURN PIPE WAS SHORTENED LEAVING PART OF THE HOSE EXPOSED. IN SOME INSTANCES THIS PART OF THE HOSE BECOMES KINKED DUE TO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HEAT AND/OR THE ROUTING OF THE HOSE. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: IF THIS OCCURS IT COULD RESTRICT AND DAMAGE THE RETURN FUEL HOSE WHICH COULD LEAD TO FUEL LEAKAGE AND CAUSE AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE. Remedy: NEW HOSE WILL BE INSTALLED WITH A LONGER PREFORMED SLEEVE DESIGNED TO PREVENT KINKING. THE REPLACEMENT HOSE WILL BE SECURED WITH SCREW TIGHTENED CLAMPS ON EACH END.
We checked Transport Canada's recall database for this make, model and year.

THE SHORT SECTION OF HIGH PRESSURE FUEL HOSE BETWEEN THE FUEL RAIL AND THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR, WHICH RUNS ALONGSIDE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD, MAY BE SUBJECT TO HARDENING. IN THE EVENT THAT THIS LINE DOES HARDEN, FUEL LEAKS COULD DEVELOP BETWEEN THE HOSE AND METAL PIPE FITTINGS. LEAKING FUEL COULD IGNITE ON THE HOT EXHAUST SYSTEM AND LEAD TO AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE. CORRECTION: FUEL HOSE WILL BE REPLACED ON 924S, 944 AND 944 TURBO VEHICLES AND THE FUEL HOSE AND FUEL RAIL WILL BE REPLACED ON 944S VEHICLES.
THE FUEL RETURN RETURN HOSE BETWEEN THE PRESSURE REGULATOR AND THE FUEL RETURN PIPE MAY BECOME KINKED DUE TO THE INFLUENCE OF ENGINE COMPARTMENT HEAT AND/OR THE ROUTING OF THE HOSE.

CORRECTION: FUEL RETURN HOSE WILL BE REMOVED AND A NEW HOSE AND PROTECTIVE SLEEVE WILL BE INSTALLED.
