- Affected:
- 16,000
- Defect:
- Expulsion of fuel due to overpressurization.
- Consequence:
- Fuel or fuel vapors in the presence of an ignitionsource can cause a fire.
- Correction:

- Affected:
- 3,600,000
- Defect:
- Spring lock fuel line coupling may not be properly engaged.
- Consequence:
- Coupling could disengage due to fuel pressure,vibration, and engine movements; this would cause loss of fuel which, inpresence of an ignition source, creates a fire risk.
- Correction:
- Install retainer clips over the couplings to prevent coupling separation and fuel leakage.
- Notes:
- System: fuel line couplingvehicle description: passenger cars and light trucks equipped with fuelinjection.
- Campaign:

- Affected:
- 188,000
- Defect:
- Vehicles are subject to excessive underhood temperatures and fuel system pressures in severe duty applications.
- Consequence:
- This creates potential for fuel expulsion from the fuelfiller pipe which in the presence of an ignition source, could result in afire.
- Correction:
- Install modification kits to minimize possibility of fuel expulsion and to shield underbody components from exhaust system heat.
- Notes:
- System: fuelvehicle description: 1983 through 1987 e250, e350, club wagons and econolinevans and chassis equipped with 7.5 and 1985 through 1987 e250, e350, club wagonsand econoline vans equipped with 5.8 liter engines.
