08-04-19-004A (Section 04 - Driveline/Axle).

The front axle vent hose is mounted in the left side of the engine compartment, and may not be correctly routed. The vent hose can get misrouted

and placed in a position that is lower than the front axle harness/engine harness in-line connector. In this position, the vent tube may ingest water.

The front axle vent hose may be routed to the wheel side of the wheel well. It may be hanging through the opening of the wheel well in a vertical

position, with the vent cap hanging down.

If you encounter a vehicle with the front axle vent hose misrouted, reroute the hose to the correct location. The hose should be mounted inside the

engine compartment, in an upward position to prevent the possibility of water being drawn into the hose and axle assembly during cool-down. Tape

the vent hose to the nearby wiring harness as shown. Technicians should also change the front axle fluid.
