What’s wrong with it?
IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, FUEL LEAK CAN RESULT IN A VEHICLE FIRE.
CERTAIN FEDERAL-MOGUL MECHANICAL FUEL PUMPS SOLD FOR USE AS AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT ON NUMEROUS APPLICATIONS PACKAGED AS EITHER CARTER FUEL DELIVERY PRODUCTS, CARTER ACCUFLOW, NAPA FUEL PUMPS, OR NAPA TRUFLOW.
THE PART NUMBERS ARE M6984, M6978, M6959, M6737, M6626, M6624, M6588, M6505, M60519, M60405, M60404, M60335, M60036, M4503, 2M4503, 2M6984, 2M6978, 2M6959, 2M6737, 2M6588, 2M60036, 2M60519, 2M60405, 2M60404, 2M60335.
THE LACK OF PROPER THREAD DEPTH IN THE MECHANICAL FUEL PUMP’S FLARED FITTING WILL CAUSE IMPROPER SEAL AND THUS THE POTENTIAL FOR FUEL LEAKING FROM THE FITTING.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
