Hazard
The fuel passage machining finish of the high-pressure fuel pump that supplies fuel to the engine is defective. Continued use in this condition may cause foreign matter (aluminum particles) to adhere within the high-pressure fuel pump, resulting in reduced fuel pressure and, in the worst case, engine shutdown and inability to restart.
