What Happened
The fuel filter in your vehicle is a crucial part that helps clean the fuel before it reaches the engine. The replacement filter sold by Affinia Group (under Carquest and NAPA brands) might have a faulty hose assembly that could leak.
Risk if Unfixed
If the filter leaks, it could cause a fire in your vehicle while you're driving — a serious and potentially life-threatening situation.
Free Fix
Your Affinia Group dealer will replace the faulty fuel filter with a new one at no cost to you. You'll be notified when the replacement is available, and you should schedule the repair as soon as possible.
