Recall 1986092

The issue

Certain Camaro, Firebird, Monte Carlo and Grand Prix equipped with a 5.0L engine, and 5.7L Corvettes. High ignition coil temperatures combined with the stress of higher voltage may break down the coating of the high output ignition coil secondary windings. Declining ignition voltage may lead to engine misfire, hesitation sags or no re-start. Depending on road condition, this could result in a significant safety hazard. Correction: High output ignition coil will be replace, spark plug gap will be revised and a spark plug gap revision label will be installed.

Description (français)

L'enrobage des enroulements secondaires de la bobine d'allumage à grand rendement peut se détériorer sous l'effet combiné de la forte chaleur et de la tension très élevée. La réduction de tension qui en résulte peut entraîner des ratés et des hésitations du moteur qui, à la limite. peut caler et même refuser de démarrer. Dans certaines conditions routières, la défectuosité peut présenter un danger.
