The hazard

Certain vehicles may have a small plastic tab located on the windshield washer fluid reservoir that may chafe against the underhood fuel supply line. If this happens, the chaffing could cause a fuel leak over time. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, may result in a fire. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the underhood fuel supply line. As a preventative measure, dealers will also remove the plastic tab from the windshield washer fluid reservoir.
