Details

On certain vehicles, an underbody heat shield may not be long enough to protect the right drive half-shaft grease boot from heat.

Over time, this could lead to a grease leak from the boot.

If leaking grease comes into contact with heated surfaces of the exhaust system and/or diesel particulate filter (DPF), it could lead to a fire potentially causing injury and/or damage to property.

Correction: Dealers will install a revised heat shield and certain vehicles will have the upper boost hose replaced.
