Fuel system, gasoline: fuel injection system
- What is wrong
- The fuel pressure regulator located on the fuel rail in the engine compartment has a vacuum diaphragm that was damaged during manufacture of the regulator.
- Risk
- If the diaphragm tears or ruptures, liquid fuel could enter the intake manifold plenum through the vacuum line resulting in either release of fuel from the air cleaner assembly or the exhaust system. Fuel release in the presence of an ignition source could potentially result in a fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the fuel pressure regulator. Those regulators produced during the suspect time period will be replaced.
