Consumer Description

THERE WAS A POOL OF OIL COLLECTING IN A CHANNEL LOCATED ON THE ENGINE BLOCK. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS THIS COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITIONS. I HAVE LESS THAN 12,000 MILES ON THE 2017 VEHICLE. FIRST, I SAW THE OIL LEAK IN MY DRIVEWAY, CHECKED MY OIL AND WAS A QUART LOW. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER WHO IDENTIFIED THE LEAK COMING FROM THE OIL FILTER HOUSING UNIT. I WANT TO DOCUMENT THIS WITH NHSTA . THERE ARE A GROWING NUMBER OF OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE WHO BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PART, OUT OF SAFETY CONCERNS.
