SYSTEM_COMPONENT

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

EVENT_SUMMARY
Your vehicle has a potential issue with the engine and cooling system. The engine's front valve cover gasket can get too hot and cause oil to leak, which can lead to a small fire.
RISK_ASSESSMENT
If you hard brake or drive aggressively, oil can leak onto the exhaust manifold and ignite, potentially spreading to other parts of the engine and causing a fire.
RESOLUTION_PROTOCOL
Your local dealership will replace the engine's front valve cover and gasket with improved parts, remove the plastic cover and oil-fill-tube extension, and replace the spark plug wire retainers, all free of charge.
