REPLACE ACTIVE BODY CONTROL (ABC) HIGH PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION HOSE (M113 ENGINE)
This Recall Campaign has been initiated because DCAG has determined that on affected vehicles corrosion may occur in the inner steel portions of the Active Body Control's high-pressure distribution hose due to extensive exposure to humidity. Over time, corrosion may deteriorate the inner steel portions of the ABC's high-pressure distribution hose. This may result in ABC hydraulic fluid leakage near the catalytic converter of the subject vehicles. Under some circumstances leaking hydraulic fluid may come in contact with hot engine components and lead to a possibility of fire.
Prior to performing this Recall Campaign:
- Please check VMI to insure the vehicle is involved in the Campaign and if it has been previously repaired.

Attached is a sample copy of a letter which owners of the affected vehicles will receive.
Approximately 19,824 vehicles are affected.
