## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the o\-ring seals in the fuel line connector at the outlet end of the fuel filter may have been damaged when the line was connected to the filter during vehicle assembly.  In some cases, the damage to the o\-rings may result in a fuel odor, or possibly in fuel dripping from the connection.  Fuel leakage in sufficient quantity in the presence of an ignition source could potentially result in a fire.  Correction:  Fuel line will be inspected and replaced if necessary.
