Details
What's wrong: The hydraulic hoses which operate the leveling jack system were routed too close to the engine exhaust or near a sharp edge. The hot exhaust can cause the hose to melt, and a sharp edge could cut the hose, releasing hydraulic fluid.
Why it matters: Hydraulic fluid leakage can be ignited by the engine's catalytic converter and cause a fire.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the lines and, if necessary, replace and reroute the lines.
