Defect
Due to a manufacturing defect, the fuel vapour line may come into contact with the coolant hose and become damaged. This may result in a fuel smell and/or a coolant leak and may cause an engine compartment fire. In addition, the vehicle may experience excessive coolant consumption, lack of heater performance, reduced engine performance and drivability issues. Note: If excessive coolant consumption occurs, the malfunction indicator warning light will display in the instrument cluster.
