REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
Some of the affected vehicles may contain an engine cover with insulation on the underside of the engine cover that does not fully extend to the perimeter of the engine cover as intended.

Direct and continuous contact with certain areas of the passenger compartment surface of the engine cover may cause burns to the skin of the driver or front seat passenger.
SERVICE ACTION
DO NOT DEMONSTRATE OR DELIVER any new in-stock vehicles involved in this safety recall. A complete Dealer Bulletin will be provided to dealers when parts are available to support this safety recall.
IMPORTANT: Dealers should open a Repair Order (RO) only when a full dealer bulletin is published. Opening a RO against an Awareness or Advance Notice will result in warranty rejections against a recall.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
Owners of record will be notified via first-class mail by the week of February 8, 2021, at which time, it is anticipated that repair instructions and parts ordering information will have been provided to dealers.
PLEASE NOTE:
Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $21,000 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory prior to delivery.
