Consumer Description

A FUEL INJECTOR CLAMP BROKE LEADING TO RAW FUEL POURING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE MOTOR AS WELL AS VAPORIZED FUEL SPRAYING AROUND THE TOP OF THE MOTOR. AFTER ORDERING THE REPLACEMENT CLAMP I REALIZED THEY HAVE CHANGED THE DESIGN FROM A PIECE OF CAST METAL TO STAMPED STEEL ( MUCH STRONGER). IF THE FUEL IGNITED IT COULD BE CATASTROPHIC. LUCKILY THE CLAMP BROKE IN MY DRIVE WAY AND NOT WHILE TOWING A HEAVY LOAD. THIS COULD LEAD TO THE VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN OR WORSE CATCHING FIRE. ENCLOSE FIND PICTURES OF THE BROKEN CLAMP AND THE REDESIGNED NEW CLAMP. THERE ARE 7 MORE CLAMPS ON THIS MOTOR WAITING TO FAIL. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 57,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN ABUSED.
