Details
What's wrong: An engine electrical wiring-harness clip can melt and drip onto the exhaust manifold.
Why it matters: The clip material on the exhaust manifold can ignite and subsequently ignite other combustible components resulting in a vehicle fire.
The fix: Dealers are contacting owners by telephone to have their vehicles towed to the dealer and alternate transportation provided to them until the dealer can reroute the electrical wiring-harness.
