What NHTSA recorded

The underhood wiring harness and ventilating hose may have been misrouted during vehicle assembly. Misrouting may cause chafing between the harness and various other components, resulting in short circuits and malfunction of electrical accessories. The switch which activates the engine oil pressure warning light may not function. The crankcase ventilation hose may be too close to the air injection manifold tube and could be damaged if engine overheats.

Remedy

Upon inspection, dealer will repair engine compartment wiring harness, reroute the hose, and replace the oil pressure switch without charge.
