Details

What's wrong: The intake air ducts, which are connected to the intermediate resonator in the air intake system of the engine, may separate from the resonator with engine movement. This separation occurs due to the premature aging of the material used in the intake air ducts which causes excessive shrinking.

Why it matters: Engine may stall increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace/repair the appropriate components free of charge. The recall began on September 24, 2009.
