What is wrong
THE SYNFLEX-TYPE OIL PRESSURE SIGNAL LINE MAY HAVE BEEN ROUTED TOO CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. EXCESSIVE HEAT MAY CAUSE THE LINE TO RUPTURE, AND OIL LEAKAGE MAY OCCUR.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
THE DEALER WILL REROUTE THE OIL PRESSURE SIGNAL LINE TO ELIMINATE POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.

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.
