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 vehicles, the bolt that connects the engine lubrication oil pipe to the vacuum pump may not have been tightened properly during vehicle assembly. If not adequately tightened the bolt may loosen after prolonged vehicle operation, which can result in oil seepage or leakage from the packing seals. Normally, as oil is lost, the oil warning lamp will illuminate and there may be abnormal engine noise. However, if the problem is not addressed, the loss of oil can cause engine seizure. If the engine seizes while the vehicle is being driven, the vehicle may experience sudden deceleration, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the packing seals and tighten the bolt to specified torque.

On certain trucks, the propeller shaft may not have received adequate heat treatment during the manufacturing process. As a result, the shaft may break and fall off while the vehicle is being driven. Separation of the driveshaft would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. In addition, once separated from the vehicle the driveshaft could cause vehicle damage or damage to other vehicles and property, and could potentially result in personal injury or death to bystanders. Correction: Dealers will replace the propeller shaft.
