What are the defects?
Improper routing of electrical wires under the fuel tank may cause the leads come in contact with frame edge. In addition, on certain models (JKBEJCA1?A000108 - JKBEJCA1?A015716), the throttle body holder may harden because of insufficient heat resistance. If it is continuously used the throttle body holder may crack and additional air may flow into the engine.
