## What is wrong

MALADJUSTMENT OF THE FUEL DISTRIBUTOR COULD ALLOW A SMALL AMOUNT OF FUEL TO ESCAPE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ENGINE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF, AND BE ABSORBED INTO THE AIR FILTER. IF THE ENGINE MISFIRES DURING RESTARTING, THE FUEL ABSORBED BY THE AIR FILTER COULD IGNITE AND CAUSE A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

CORRECTION: AN AIR FILTER MODIFICATION KIT WILL BE INSTALLED. IN ADDITION THE ENGINE IDLE STABILIZER VALVE WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF NECCESSARY.

V.I.N.RANGE

WAU..044.FN000001 TO WAU..044.GN100600
