What's wrong: The engine may fail, which can result in a loss of drive power.
Why it matters: A sudden loss of drive power can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the engine long block, free of charge. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed June 5, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available, anticipated in November 2026.
