## What is wrong

On certain pickup trucks, the plastic hydraulic clutch line could rupture from overheating from exhaust temperatures because an underbody heat shield may be the improper length.  This could cause hydraulic fluid to leak onto the exhaust and cause an underbody fire.  Correction:  Proper length heat shield will be installed on affected vehicles.
