Details

What's wrong: The harness for the crankshaft position sensor could come in contact with a new protective shield causing a grounded circuit.

Why it matters: Prolonged wiring harness contact with the heat shield will cause the wiring insulation to wear and eventually to ground out. This could cause the engine to die-out, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will re-route the crankshaft position sensor harness.
