Description of the problem	Re: possible dangerous leaking fuel tube dodge corporation dodge customer assistance center p. O. Box 21-8004 auburn hills, mi 48321-8004 tel: 800-992-1997 13 october 2009 dear dodge corporation, i am forwarding a copy of this letter to the nhtsa, aaa, consumer reports and cppb. On october 10th while returning home from pasadena i detected a strong scent of diesel in the cab of my truck. It was especially strong as i slowed after traveling several hours on the southern california freeway system. When i arrived home i investigated and discovered that the injector tube to the #4 cylinder was spraying a fine mist of fuel into and around the engine compartment and onto the firewall as well as being soaked into the hood insulation. I know that the diesel fuel is far less volatile than gasoline. I also know that atomizing it in a confined compartment that has high temperatures as well as a chance for spark or a shorted wire, such as the confines of the engine compartment, are an excellent location for a vehicle fire. Diesel fuel is difficult to ignite but once it is burning it is difficult to extinguish. You and your expert engineers are aware of this. I found that the blue plastic retaining clamp that holds the injector tube in place and prevents vibration from damaging the connections or the tube itself was loose. The plastic clamp/retainer was securely held in place by the screw that passed through the device but the whole clamp would freely move around the tube and the tube would be able to move back and forth inside the clamp. This sort of defeats it

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
