What is wrong
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with a 3.8l v6 engine. Some of these vehicles were built without a heater hose clip which could allow the hose to sag and contact the oxygen sensor resulting in a coolant leak.
The risk
If a coolant leak were to occur, and leaking coolant contacted the hot exhaust manifold, an engine compartment fire could result.
The fix
Dealers will install a heater hose clip.
