Details
What's wrong: The throttle is unable to return to idle due to ice forming in the throttle body when the temperature ranges from -10 to -40 degrees fahrenheit.
Why it matters: Increased brake pedal efforts or some increase in stopping distance could result.
The fix: Dealers will install a revised pcv system on these vehicles.
