Details
What's wrong: The hydraulic hoses which operate the leveling jack system is routed too close to the engine exhaust manifold causing the hose to melt, releasing hydraulic fluid.
Why it matters: This hydraulic fluid can ignite in the engine compartment causing a fire.
The fix: Dealers will inspect, replace any damaged hoses, and relocate the affected hydraulic lines.
