Recall 1999146

The issue

On certain pickup trucks, the plastic hydraulic clutch line could rupture from overheating from exhaust temperatures because an underbody heat shield may be the improper length. This could cause hydraulic fluid to leak onto the exhaust and cause an underbody fire. Correction: Proper length heat shield will be installed on affected vehicles.

Description (français)

Sur certaines camionnettes, il se peut que la canalisation hydraulique en plastique de l’embrayage surchauffe et se rompe parce que le bouclier thermique du soubassement de la carrosserie n’est pas assez long et expose la canalisation aux températures élevées de l’échappement. Il se pourrait alors que du liquide hydraulique s'écoule et prenne feu au contact de l’échappement. Correction : On devra poser sur les véhicules visés un bouclier thermique de la bonne longueur.
