Details
What's wrong: The wire rod used in the manufacture of the engine valve springs can develop minute cracks causing breakage of the springs.
Why it matters: This breakage can cause engine chatter, damage to the engine pistons, and cause the engine to stall increasing the potential for an accident.
The fix: Dealers will replace all sixteen (16) valve springs in the engine of the affected vehicles.
