Summary: A backfire during engine starting can cause breakage of the upper intake manifold.
Consequence: This condition can cause a no-start condition and possibly an engine compartment fire.
Remedy: Dealers will update the powertrain control module programming. Until the campaign repair is made, the vehicle hood should be shut whenever starting the vehicle to reduce the chance of personal injury.
