What is wrong
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, THE HOSE CONNECTING THE ENGINE BLOCK TO THE FRAME IS ROUTED NEAR THE ENGINE'S TURBOCHARGER. HEAT FROM THE TURBOCHARGER MAY CAUSE THE HOSE TO MELT.
What can happen
IF MELTING OF THE HOSE OCCURS, ENGINE OIL COULD SPRAY UPWARD ONTO THE SURFACE OF THE TURBOCHARGER HOUSING POSSIBLY CAUSING SMOKE OR A FIRE. THIS MAY LEAD TO PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE HOSE FREE OF CHARGE WITH A HIGHER THERMAL RESISTANCE AND A KEVLAR REFLECTIVE HEAT WRAP WILL BE INSTALLED OVER THE NEW HOSE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 25, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT INTERNATIONAL AT 1-800-448-7825.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
