Details

What's wrong: The engine control unit and transmission control unit software may have compatibility conflicts and cause the engine to shut-down while the driver brakes to a stop, or accelerates following an eco start.

Why it matters: If the engine shuts down, there is increased the risk of a crash.

The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the engine and transmission control unit software, free of charge. The recall begin September 18, 2017.
