Hazard
The fuel filter attached to the engine vibrates during specific high-speed engine operating ranges. Prolonged operation in this condition causes the fuel line retaining bracket to fracture, generating excessive stress on the fuel filter. Continued use in this state can result in cracks forming near the connection point between the fuel filter and fuel line, leading to fuel leakage and potential fire hazard in worst-case scenarios.

Remedy
Replace the fuel filter with a fuel filter equipped with a support bracket on all vehicles. Inspect the fuel line retaining bracket and replace any cracked or fractured brackets and fuel lines with new parts.
