NHTSA recall 03V030000
Electrical System · Hyundai Motor America
Details
What's wrong: On certain sport utility vehicles equipped with 2.7 liter v-6 engines, improperly manufactured crankshaft position sensors (cps) were installed. The cps cases were improperly manufactured and did not meet dimensional specifications. Internal gaps within the cases allowed epoxy to contact the printed circuit board, which resulted in cracking of the printed circuit board capacitor.
Why it matters: A damaged cps capacitor could result in engine stalling.
The fix: Dealers will replace the cps. Owner notification began on March 10, 2003.
