Defect
THESE VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLED WITH THE LEFT-HAND LOWER CONTROL ARM-TO-FRAME REAR NUT NOT TIGHTENED TO THE SPECIFIED TORQUE.

THE FUEL LINES ATTACHED TO THE FUEL TANK WERE NOT PROPERLY TIGHTENED.
Consequence
THESE FUEL LINES CAN LOOSEN TO THE POINT OF ALLOWING FUEL TO LEAK FROM THE LINES RESULTING IN A VEHICLE FIRE.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL LOWER THE FUEL TANK AND TIGHTEN THE FUEL TANK LINES TO THE PROPER TORQUE VALUE.
