## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain model year 2014 Transit Connect vehicles manufactured August 1, 2013, to July 10, 2014.  In the affected vehicles, the fuel and vapor lines may have been incorrectly installed in the engine compartment, allowing the two lines to make contact.


## What can happen

Contact between the two lines may result in abrasion and a fuel leak.  A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.


## The remedy

Ford has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the fuel line routing.  If the fuel line has been routed incorrectly, it will be replaced and routed correctly.  These repairs will be made free of charge.  The recall began on November 17, 2014.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 14S24.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
