Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with 3.0L diesel engines. The crankshaft position sensor may have been manufactured incorrectly. The engine could fail due to separation of bond wires from the lead frame in the sensor. This results in an interruption in the electrical connection in the chip housing of the sensor.

Why it matters: This could cause the vehicle's engine to stall or not start under certain conditions increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Coachmen is working with Chrysler to replace the crankshaft sensors free of charge (please see 07V594). The two vehicles involved are still in coachmen's possession and will be remedied prior to being shipped to dealers.
