What NHTSA recorded

Vacuum harness assembly hoses become loose and can contact engine exhaust ports. Contact with exhaust exposes hoses to high temperature which causes carbonization of the hoses material.

Possible consequence

As a result, combustion or auto ignition can take placeand the hose ignites which can cause severe engine compartment damage andpossible loss of vehicle due to fire.

Remedy

Reroute vacuum hoses to preclude contact with exhaust system.
