The fuel filter in your vehicle is a crucial part that helps clean the gasoline going to your engine. However, some Fram fuel filters made between October 2005 and March 2006 might have a faulty connector that could cause problems.
Risk if Unfixed
If the connector doesn't seal properly, fuel could leak out, and in the presence of an ignition source, a fire could start.
Free Fix
Honeywell will replace the faulty fuel filter with a new one at no cost to you. You should schedule the replacement as soon as possible when you receive the recall notice.
