“It is possible that a sealing cap on the fuel rail may fail to seal, thus allowing fuel to leak into the engine compartment. Leaking fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, may result in a fire,” the automaker said in a statement.
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the fuel rail.
