The hose material used in both the high pressure fuel line hose, and the high pressure return fuel line hose, located above the engine and attached to the metal fuel lines, are subject to hardening, and has caused fuel to leak and spray at high pressure over the entire engine compartment including the hot exhaust system and ignition components, that could have ignited and resulted in an engine compartment fire. These two fuel line hoses are positioned next to, and are of the same hose material, and are of the same dangerous propensity as nhtsa campaign id number 90v061000 (the short section of the high pressure fuel line hose between the fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator). These fuel line hoses are defective from the factory and must be recalled and replaced by the factory with hoses made of improved material as was done in campaign 90v061000. It is very fortunate that i was able to smell the fuel in time while driving through the city before the car caught fire. These two original high pressure fuel line hoses had hardened, causing fuel to leak and spray over the engine. The only way to stop the fuel pressure is to disconnect the battery or pull the appropriate fuse. Please contact me as soon as possible concerning this serious problem. - thank you. *ak
