1987 FORD THUNDERBIRD -- Spring lock fuel line coupling may not be properly engaged.

Coupling could disengage due to fuel pressure,vibration, and engine movements; this would cause loss of fuel which, inpresence of an ignition source, creates a fire risk.

Install retainer clips over the couplings to prevent coupling separation and fuel leakage. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #87V139000 »
