ISSUE
During vehicle operation in extremely cold weather, the PCV connector fitting located in the upper intake manifold may freeze from moisture in the system. If this occurs, the PCV line may become blocked pressurizing the crankcase and dislodging the oil dipstick and/or PCV valve.

ACTION
Install a secondary PCV Heater Kit (XU2Z-6A603-BA). The heater kit should reduce the possibility of the PCV connector fitting freezing. Refer to the Instruction Sheet included in the kit for details.
