| Defect Summary : Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. the cast alloy throttle body is heated by fluid bled from the cooling system, to prevent icing in extremely cold weather conditions. this fluid passes through a small attachment (plate) to the throttle body, which utilizes a cork gasket. the cork gasket has proven to be unreliable in this application. consequently, coolant fluid can leak from the interface between the de-icer plate and the throttle body. |
Consequence Summary: Should this coolant collect on high temperature regions of the engine, the coolant fluid could ignite. |
| Corrective Summary : Dealers will replace the throttle body gasket, de-icer attachment, and securing hardware. |
