Hazard
The fuel filter attached to the engine vibrates in 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 cause cracks near the connection between the fuel filter and fuel line, resulting in fuel leakage. In the worst case, this may lead to fire.

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 along with the fuel line with new parts.
