Engine and engine cooling

Summary

DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE: An issue has been identified on a limited number of vehicles fitted with the 3.0L V6 Supercharged engine within the Affected Vehicle Range where the coolant hose from the thermostat housing may not have been fitted with a retention clip on the right-hand air cleaner. This may allow the hose to chafe against the engine accessory drive belt and lead to a possible loss of coolant. This program does not apply to any vehicle already registered and in use, either with the retailer or customer. Any vehicle already in use may continue to be driven and any repair instructions deemed necessary will be communicated through a separate Field Action or Technical Bulletin.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 43 complaints in the engine category.
