Details
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles equipped with a 2.2L 4-cylinder engine, links in the engine's timing chain can separate.
Why it matters: If a timing chain link separates while the engine is running, the engine will stall and will not restart increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the timing chain free of charge. The recall began on January 15, 2008.
