The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has ordered the recall of 7,800 General Motors trucks built between 1992 and 1995 because a replacement fuel injection system sold for the vehicles may develop a fuel leak.
NHTSA warns that a fuel leak could result in a fire.
The vehicles involved are the 1992-1995 Chevrolet Astro and Blazer, GMC Jimmy, S Series, Safari, Sonoma, the 1992-1993 GMC Typhoon, and the 1992-1995 Oldsmobile Bravada.
The fuel return line in the injection system has a mechanical bleed valve which was not installed at the proper torque level.
The recall only involves R&B; Inc. fuel lines and not original equipment. Owners may contact NHTSA as 1-888-327-4236.
