Details

On certain vehicles equipped with 1.6L engines, localized overheating of the engine cylinder head could lead to cracks, causing oil leaks.

Engine oil that comes into contact with a hot engine surface could potentially result in a fire.

In addition, fuel lines replaced as part of recall 2012-218 (12S35) may have been improperly installed and may chafe, potentially resulting in a fuel leak.

Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.

Both situations could result in injury and/or property damage.

Correction: Dealers will enhance engine heat shielding, cooling and control systems, as well as inspect fuel line routing and replace fuel lines as necessary.

Note: This recall supersedes recall 2012-218.
