What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the engine compartment seal may become loose over time and fall into the engine compartment. If this happens, the seal could contact a hot surface in the engine compartment.

Why it matters

A rubber seal that falls onto a hot surface could cause a fire.

What the dealer will do

The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to install a retaining plate on the engine compartment seal.
