Issue

Certain vehicles equipped with 1.6L engines may experience a fire originating in the engine compartment, while the engine is running, caused by the engine overheating that results in flammable fluid leaks coming into contact with the hot exhaust system. This could result in property damage and/or injury. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Powertrain Control Module and the Instrument Panel Cluster module to improve the system’s ability to detect and mitigate an overheating condition. Dealers will also inspect for coolant leaks and make any necessary corrections.
