Safety risk

Heat from the exhaust manifold melts the insulation creating smoke or fire in the engine compartment.

Dealers will remove the insulation from these lines. Owner notification began august 19, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact chance coach at 1-316-779-7712.
