Summary:
Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles equipped with a 3.8L V6 engine.
Some of these vehicles were built without a heater hose clip which could allow the hose to sag and contact the oxygen sensor resulting in a coolant leak.
If a coolant leak were to occur, and leaking coolant contacted the hot
exhaust manifold, an engine compartment fire could result.
Dealers will install a heater hose clip.
Owner notification is expected to begin during October 1998. Owners
who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon
service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable
time should contact Oldsmobile at 1-800-442-6537. Also contact
