Defect
On diesel engine vehicles, the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) may produce elevated exhaust gas temperatures during regeneration (combustion removal of collected particulate matter) following high-load operation such as highway driving. If the vehicle is parked near vegetation covering the exhaust pipe outlet area while DPF regeneration occurs under these conditions, the vegetation may ignite and cause fire damage to the vehicle body.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the engine control computer program is updated.
