Details

What's wrong: The wiring for the oxygen (o2) sensor that connects to the catalytic converter may not be properly secured. When not secured, wiring can fall onto the exhaust, melt, and short out causing a check engine light (cel) and, in some cases, the engine to shut down while driving.

Why it matters: An engine shut down while driving increases the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will secure the oxygen sensor by installing a clamp and by adding an additional fastener free of charge. The safety recall began on March 31, 2011.
