04- Engine#2016094
685 units affected
On certain vehicles outfitted with the optional accessory cold weather PCV heater kit, the pipe heater wiring may chafe on a metal clamp. This could result in the PCV pipe heater wiring to interact with the clamp, which could lead to an electrical short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the PCV pipe heater with an improved component.
- Fuel System#2015597
1,240 units affected
On certain vehicles, the fuel return hose could deteriorate when subjected to various chemicals and lubricants, such as those used when cleaning the vehicle or used in certain rear body applications. If the fuel return hose were to deteriorate, it could swell and come off. This would result in a fuel leak, which in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. Correction: Dealers will inspect the fuel return hose. If a defective hose is found installed, it will be replaced with an improved hose.
- Brakes#2015357
887 units affected
On certain vehicles, steel brake pad shims may corrode and swell upon exposure to road de-icing chemicals and/or road salt. This could result in extended brake pedal travel when applying the brakes, potentially affecting stopping distances and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace steel brake pad shims with stainless steel ones.
- Powertrain#2014438
1,180 units affected
On certain vehicles, the transmission oil cooler hose may have been manufactured incorrectly and may burst, causing an automatic transmission fluid (ATF) leak. As a result, the transmission could become inoperative, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the hose, and if necessary, replace it.
