Dodge Recall 00V-199: Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings

Affected: 1997 Dodge Dakota. Filed with NHTSA on July 17, 2000, covering about 91,610 vehicles.

The problem

Vehicle description: pickup trucks with a 131 inch wheelbase. Some of these vehicles May have been built with inadequate clearance between the fuel line and the cab underbody.

The risk

This contact can result in wear, and after extended contact, could cause a perforation in the fuel line, resulting in leakage. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.

The fix

Dealers will inspect the vehicles for proper clearance. Fuel lines that exhibit inadequate clearance will be replaced with a redesigned fuel line that will assure proper clearance.
