Equipment Vehicle recall #94V158000 · 1994 · 56,269 vehicles
What's wrong: If the air conditioner compressor clutch assembly contacts the auxiliary engine oil cooler out hose, the hose May wear through allowing engine oil to leak in the engine compartment.
Why it matters: An oil leak that contacts the hot exhaust system can result in an engine compartment fire.
The fix: Dealers will install a tie strap to retain the auxiliary engine oil cooler outlet hose to the auxiliary engine oil cooler inlet hose at the bottom of the radiator assuring adequate clearance of the affected hose from the air conditioner compressor clutch assembly.
