Summary
Fuel hose may be damaged due to too much pressure in crimping the hose end fitting. Consequence of defect: A fuel leak could develop which could cause a loss in system pressure and engine stalling. Also, fuel vapors in the engine compartment could be ignited by a spark and cause a fire.
Actions
Hoses will be modified by cutting off the crimped end fitting and replacing it with a nipple fitting secured with a screw tightened clamp.
