What Happened
The fuel filter in your vehicle has a quick connector that can leak fuel if not properly attached. This could happen if you tightened it, but it's not fully secure.
Risk if Unfixed
If the connection leaks, fuel could spill out and, if there's an ignition source nearby, a fire could start.
Free Fix
Your fuel filter will be replaced with a new one that's designed to connect securely, and the repair is completely free. Your dealer will contact you to schedule the replacement, or you can reach out to UFI Filters USA at 800-230-5876 to get started.
