REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL

In all of the affected vehicles, the fuel delivery module (FDM) may have a leak in the fuel tube due to a thin fuel tube wall. The leak will be internal to the fuel tank. An FDM fuel tube leak internal to the fuel tank will cause low fuel system pressure, which may lead to engine stall and/or no start due to insufficient fuel. An unexpected engine stall while driving may increase the risk of a crash.
