Dodge RAM: Fuel System
Affects Dodge RAM · 1998 — about 771 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain vehicles, an exhaust system heat shield attaching screw is too close to the underbody fuel line. Vibration and vehicle motion during normal vehicle operation may cause the fuel line to rub against the screw eventually resulting in fuel leakage. Correction: Heat shield attaching screw will be removed and replaced with a butyl rubber adhesive. Fuel tubes showing any signs of abrasion damage will be replaced.
