Subaru of Schaumburg did this same thing to me. They said that the hose was too old and cracked and need to be replaced. Then they tried to convince me not to drive the car home because it could catch a fire and should take one of their loaner which they will charge me a certain amount per day. I drove the car home anyway and took it directly to my mechanic. All he did was, trimmed the hose and tightened the clamp. The problem was fixed.

I have enough of the dealer's BS.
