Details
What's wrong: Due to a manufacturing process fault, the fuel pump was not produced to specifications. Under specific vehicle operating conditions, the fuel pump's commutator could experience an increase in wear.
Why it matters: This wear could lead to fuel pump malfunction and engine stalling. Engine stalling could create a potential for a crash resulting in injury or death.
The fix: Dealers will replace the in-tank fuel pump free of charge. The safety recall began on January 11, 2011.
