Summary
SITUATION: AN ISSUE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF VEHICLES FITTED WITH THE 3.0L SC V6 ENGINE WITHIN THE LISTED 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.
