Summary
SITUATION: AN ISSUE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF VEHICLES FITTED WITH THE 3.0L SC V6 ENGINE WITHIN THE AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE WHERE THE COOLANT HOSE FROM THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING MAY NOT HAVE BEEN FITTED WITH A RETENTION CLIP ON THE RIGHT-HAND AIR CLEANER. THIS MAY ALLOW THE HOSE TO CHAFE AGAINST THE ENGINE ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT AND LEAD TO A POSSIBLE LOSS OF COOLANT.
