NHTSA Campaign #
82V033000
Summary
On the involved vehicles, the muffler grass shields were inadvertently omitted during manufacture. Without the grass shield, and during certain operating conditions, the muffler surface temperatures could become hot enough to exceed specified standards and create the potential for igniting tall grasses if they were present beneath a standing vehicle.
Actions
Dealer will install grass shields on all affected vehicles at no cost to owner.
