DefectCylinder head bolts in some vehicles produced during a specific period may not have been tightened to the specified torque. This could, in rare cases, lead to engine oil leaking through gaps caused by loosened cylinder head bolt fasteners. If the leaked engine oil comes into contact with hot parts of the engine, there is a risk of smoke and fire. This recall is due to this possibility.
