Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS IN THE AREA OF THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP, THE ENGINE STARTER COULD SHORT CIRCUIT IF THE CLAMP DROPS ONTO THE STARTER TERMINAL. THIS COULD PREVENT THE ENGINE FROM STARTING. EXCESSIVE HEAT FROM THE SHORT CIRCUIT COULD CAUSE A FIRE.
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, THE RUBBER PORTION OF THE FUEL INJECTION PIPE CLAMPS COULD DETERIORATE.
NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION COULD CAUSE THE DETERIORATED CLAMP TO LOOSEN AND DRIP.
