## What is wrong

EXCESSIVE TOLERANCE VARIATION MAY HAVE CREATED A GAP      BETWEEN THE BUMPER BRACKET RAIL AND THE RIGHT FRONT FRAME OF THE REAR SIDE       MEMBER. THIS COULD RESULT IN INSUFFICIENT SPOT WELDING ADHESION AT THIS          LOCATION. UNDER REAR IMPACT CONDITIONS, BUMPER COULD BREAK LOOSE AND DAMAGE THE  AIR VENT HOSE. THIS MAY CAUSE FUEL TO LEAK IN ACCESS OF THE MAXIMUM REQUIREMENT  OF FMVSS 301.                                                                                                                                                     CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: FUEL LEAKAGE CAUSED BY A REAR END COLLISION MAY           CONTRIBUTE TO A FIRE IF A SOURCE OF IGNITION IS PRESENT.


## The remedy

INSTALL A PROTECTOR KIT ON THE AIR VENT HOSE.
