The product poses a risk of fire because during the manufacturing process for the fuel lines, there were some isolated cases of minor damage to the fuel lines. Fuel could leak through the textile housing of the line ends and cracks could form in the fuel lines. The possibility of the fuel igniting on contact with hot vehicle parts cannot therefore be excluded.
