Details

What's wrong: Vapors from the positive crankcase ventilation (pcv) system can condense and freeze inside of the throttle body when the vehicle is operated in extremely cold ambient temperatures.

Why it matters: This can prevent the throttle from fully returning to idle, which could cause a crash without warning.

The fix: Dealers will replace and relocate a pcv system tube.
