On certain vehicles, the air filter element material process resulted in an air filter paper element that can smolder or burn. This change in filter paper composition combined with the configuration of the air induction system, may allow hot carbon particles to contact the air filter element during certain driving conditions. These hot particles may ignite the air filter element with the potential for air induction system damage or underhood fire. Correction: Dealers will replace the air filter.
