What Happened
The fuel supply line in your vehicle is a hose that delivers gasoline from the tank to the engine. Over time, it can rub against the air conditioning tube and wear down, causing a leak.
Risk if Unfixed
If the line leaks, and there's a spark nearby, it could catch fire, which is a serious safety risk.
Free Fix
Your authorized dealer will inspect the fuel line for damage and add a clip to prevent it from rubbing against the air conditioning tube. If the line is already damaged, they'll replace it for you – free of charge.
