What are the defects?
There is a possibility that the sealing performance of the fuel pressure sensor to the delivery pipe could degrade over time due to improper tightening the fuel pressure sensor.
What are the hazards?
If this occurs fuel could leak past the gasket and in the presence of an ignition source, this could increase the risk of a vehicle fire.
