Defect
Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. The cast alloy throttle body is heated by fluid bled from the cooling system, to prevent icing in extremely cold weather conditions. This fluid passes through a small attachment (plate) to the throttle body, which utilizes a cork gasket. The cork gasket has proven to be unreliable in this application. Consequently, coolant fluid can leak from the interface between the de-icer plate and the throttle body.
Safety risk
Should this coolant collect on high temperature regions of the engine, the coolant fluid could ignite.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the throttle body gasket, de-icer attachment, and securing hardware.
