GROUP
BODY
RODEO (UC), PICKUP (TF), AND AMIGO (TC) ICE BUILDUP
FRONT DOOR/FENDER DAMAGE
APPLICABLE VEHICLES
Rodeo (UC), Pickup (TF), and Amigo (TC) models.
SERVICE INFORMATION
On some affected vehicles, in cold weather conditions, water can become trapped in the front fender well and freeze, forming a buildup of ice around the
lower portion of the door-to-fender area. When the driver or front passenger door is opened, this ice buildup can damage the door and/or fender.
To correct the problem, replace the existing right and left fender inner liner with the appropriate new, improved fender inner liner (see "Parts
Information" section of this Service Bulletin) using the procedure described in this Service Bulletin. The new fender inner liner diverts water away from
the lower portion of the front door-to-fender area, so that in cold weather, this area is kept free from ice buildup.
