On certain vehicles, the hose connecting the engine block to the frame mounted oil sampling valve is routed too near the engine's turbocharger. Heat from the turbocharger may cause the hose to melt. If this occurs, engine oil could be sprayed upward onto the turbocharger possibly causing smoke or a fire. This may lead to property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will install a new hose with a higher thermal resistance and cover it with Kevlar reflective heat wrap.
