What is being recalled

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS. THE CONNECTING ENDS OF THE FUEL FEED AND RETURN HOSES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CAN "SETTLE" OVER TIME WHICH COULD CAUSE THE FASTENING CLAMPS TO LOSE THEIR TIGHT FIT AND PERMIT FUEL TO SEEP OUT AT THE HOSE CONNECTION.

Why it is dangerous

FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

The fix (free at any franchised dealer)

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL FEED AND RETURN HOSES.

Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 00V-039 when calling a dealer.
