If this occurs, the heat shield may contact the exhaust system, which can result in a vehicle fire.  In addition, the affected vehicles may have a fuel line (1.8T engine only) or fuel tank ventilation valve (4motion / all-wheel drive vehicles only) that may leak due to fracture.  Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a vehicle fire.
