The problem
The inside pipes of the heat exchangers might be subject to cracking.
The risk
With the heater switched on, exhaust fumes from the heat exchanger could enter the passenger compartment. Entry of exhaust fumes into the passenger compartment could, in extreme cases, cause asphyxiation and/or loss of vehicle control.
The fix
Dealers will replace the heat exchanger in these vehicles.
