Does that mean the plastic engine shield in the Korean assembled Chevy Cruze is different?

The first thing they need to check is if it's a quality control/ assembly issue or if it's a design flaw.


PS: looks like one of the victims...

Galing lang sa Ohio plant yung may problem, saan ba galing yung sa Pinas?

The local spec Cruze is from GM Korea.

What they need to determine is if it's a quality issue (Ohio plant), if it's a design flaw or if that component is shared with the ones made in other plants.

I don't think the Philippine spec Cruze uses the full insulator. No. 10


I think it use the one pictured below it... the partial cover.

Can any Cruze owner confirm this?
