Plain-English summary

General Motors LLC is recalling certain model year 2016 Buick Verano vehicles manufactured between February 16, 2016, and May 12, 2016. These vehicles are equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The recall involves the engine fuel line assembly, which may be misrouted in a way that allows the fuel line to contact the surface of the engine.

If the fuel line contacts the engine, it may wear down, resulting in a fuel leak. This leak increases the risk of a fire. General Motors will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel line assembly free of charge. The recall began on August 19, 2016.
