On certain vehicles equipped with an oil pan heater, over time, dust, dirt and moisture may collect at the contact point between the oil pan heater cord and the extension cord. As a result, the extension cord could overheat, which may melt the oil pan heater plug and/or block heater plug (if equipped). This could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and clean the oil pan heater plug and the engine block heater plug (if equipped). Heat damaged plugs will be replaced. In addition, dealers will replace the extension cord and advise owners to store the cord indoors when not in use.
On certain diesel powered vehicles, water and/or salt intrusion into a fuel switching manifold solenoid for the optional dual fuel tank system may cause the manifold to fail. If one or more solenoid valves fail, the diesel fuel system will exhibit fuel overflow from the fuel filler neck, which could result in diesel fuel leakage. Correction: Dealers will replace the solenoid valve assembly with an improved version.
