Hazard
The radiator tank cap in the engine cooling system is improper. Continued use in this condition causes pressure buildup within the cooling system, leading to coolant leakage from the vehicle cabin-side cooling system fittings. This significantly obstructs forward visibility and, in the worst case, may result in burns from large quantities of leaked coolant.

Remedy
Replace the radiator tank cap with the corrective part on all vehicles.
