## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the fuel intake nipple of the fuel distributor is subject to fracture or cracking during removal of the quick connect coupling securing the main fuel tube assembly to the fuel intake nipple, or when force is accidentally applied to the intake nipple during the vehicle assembly process or during engine compartment repairs.  If this occurs, fuel leakage can result and fire may occur if an ignition source is present.  Correction:  Dealer will install a redesigned fuel distributor and main fuel tube assembly.
