2003 AM General H1 recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain vehicles, the fuel lines CAN contact a rough edge on the transmission case, resulting in chaffed lines and fuel leakage.
💥 The risk
Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will reposition a clamp securing the fuel lines to the body reinforcement member. Owner notification is expected to begin during november 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact am general at 1-800-638-8303.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
