Fuel rail guard. I've read of a couple different purposes for it. The one that makes the most sense to me due to it's sturdiness is that it keeps the fuel rail from being damaged/broken off so easily in a front end collision hard enough to smash the engine into the firewall. The passenger side is a little more forward so it's protected by the block and head.

The other purpose I've heard is that it protects the fuel rail during assembly line production, like when the cab is being lowered onto the frame with the engine in place. I don't see the robots assembling these things being that far out of alignment or control.
