## What is wrong

The process used to manufacture the air filter paper was altered during the 2003 model year production, which resulted in an air filter paper element that can smolder or burn.  This change in air filter paper composition combined with the relatively short straight air induction system employed, under certain circumstances, may allow hot carbon debris to be transported to the air filter element during a backflow event.  These hot particles may ignite the air filter element with the potential for air induction system damage and/or underhood fire.  Correction:  Dealer will replace the air filter element.
