The hazard
Certain vehicles equipped with a 3.4L engine and ABS brakes do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 301 "Fuel System Integrity." A fuel return line can become severed in a frontal collision, resulting in fuel spillage. If an ignition source was present, a fire could occur. Correction: Dealers will install a brake master cylinder bracket that will maintain positioning of the fuel line in a frontal crash.
