The following article was published in a recent Tech Talk publication and states:
AFFECTED VEHICLES: All vehicles
CONCERN
When customers drive their vehicles in grassy areas, grass can be caught in the drive train components and the exhaust pipe, possibly resulting in oil leakage or oil seal damage. In a worst case scenario, the continuous driving in grassy areas and accumulative build up of grass, could lead to a thermal incident.
Please check for oil leakage and oil seal damage if you find signs during inspection that the vehicle has been driven in grassy areas or find that grasses have been caught in the drive train components, as shown below.
