DEFECT: On certain passenger vehicles, the fuel intake nipple on 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. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire.
