Details
What's wrong: On the affected vehicles, there may be insufficient clearance between the left catalytic converter and the composite underbody panel.
Why it matters: The insufficient clearance may cause the panel to melt, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the underbody panel, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began December 2016.
