What Happened
The fuel filter in your vehicle is a part that helps keep your fuel system clean. In some Fram brand fuel filters made between October 2005 and March 2006, the connection to the fuel line might not be sealed properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the connection isn't sealed right, fuel could leak out. If there's an ignition source nearby, a fire could start.
Free Fix
Honeywell will replace the faulty fuel filter at no cost to you. Your dealer will contact you to schedule the free replacement when it's time.
