Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with a 2.4 liter engine. The fuel pump may not operate properly resulting in not enough fuel getting to the engine. Poor engine starting, engine hesitation, and other impairment may result, and the check engine light may illuminate.
Why it matters: Unusually severe impairment while driving could expose the driver to the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the fuel pump sub-assembly with an improved part. The recall began on September 22, 2008.
