What NHTSA recorded

During low energy frontal impact collisions, the front crossmember can contact the metal tubing portion of the cooler hose assembly; and/or the hose assembly can break and leak oil onto the hot exhaust manifold or the turbocharger.

Possible consequence

Oil leaking on these hot engine surfaces can ignite and cause a vehicular fire.

Remedy

Dealers will install a protective cover which will protect the cooler and hoses from other structural components in low energy front impacts.
