Details

On certain vehicles, the use of selected ethanol fuels may cause the aluminium fuel rails to corrode.

This could result in plugged fuel injector(s), causing a rough engine idle and/or the illumination of the engine warning lamp.

Corrosion may also cause a pinhole to develop on the fuel rail, which could result in fuel leakage.

Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a vehicle fire.

Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel rails.
