Recall 02V-335: 2001 Saleen S281

The problem

On certain supercharged vehicles, the fuel line crossover hose sits too close to the EGR valve, causing the hose to become too hot and burn through, leaking fuel.

The risk

Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in a fire.

The fix

Dealers will install a new bracket which will lower the hose and relocates it in a safe environment, away from the EGR valve. Owner notification is expected to begin during december 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 saleen at 1-949-597-3837.
