Recall Summary:
Feed fuel hoses can harden and "set" over time, allowing a seepage of fuel at the connection between the hose and the engine fitting. The clamp used to hold the hose to the fitting is unable to compensate for the hardening of the feed fuel hose.
How to Fix:
A redesigned feed fuel hose and hose clamp will be installed to alleviate the fuel seepage.
