Details

On certain vehicles, the tunnel heat shield may drop down and rub on the drive shaft, which could eventually result in the drive shaft breaking and loss of motive power.

In conjunction with traffic and road conditions and driver reactions, this could increase the risk of a crash.

A broken drive shaft could also impact the tunnel with sufficient force to cause airbag deployment.

Unintended airbag deployment, in a non-warranted (non-impact) situation could startle the driver which could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.

In some instances, inadvertent deployment could cause minor injuries to vehicle occupants.

Correction: Dealers will install a heat shield support bracket.
