1 NHTSA recall campaign on file. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers.
Defect
CLOSE PROXIMITY OF CERTAIN HOSES TO HIGH HEAT EMITTED FROM THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WOULD CAUSE THE HOSE TO DETERIORATE.
Consequence
THIS COULD RESULT IN A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER, CREATINGTHE POSSIBILITY OF A REAR END CRASH.
Remedy
INSTALL A HEAT SHIELD OVER THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER TO PROTECT THE HOSES FROM HEAT DETERIORATION.
