Defect / Noncompliance Description
|
*Describe the defect or noncompliance: Due to a manufacturing defect of the engine crankshaft, the connecting rod bearing can prematurely wear and seize. |
|
*Describe the safety risk: If the connecting rod bearing seizes, the engine can be damaged and run improperly, stall, stop while driving, and/or not start, increasing the risk of a fire, crash or injury. |
|
Identify any warning which can precede or occur: Abnormal engine noise, engine stalling, and/or decreased engine output with engine check lamp illumination. |
|
Describe the cause: During production of the crankshaft, due to improper settings of equipment used to manufacture the engine crankshaft, the crank pin was improperly ground, resulting in crank pins with a crown or convex shape that are out of specification. |

Owners who have paid to have these repairs completed at their own expense will be eligible for reimbursement, in accord with the recall reimbursement plan on file with NHTSA. |
|
