Recall 1997178

The issue

Certain vehicles do not comply with CMVSS 1103 - exhaust emissions. The elbow containing the crankcase ventilation orifice was installed on the wrong valve cover resulting in improper metering of crankcase gases being returned to the combustion chamber. Correction: Breather elbows will be reversed from one side of the engine to the other side.

Description (français)

Certains véhicules ne satisfont pas aux exigences de la NSVAC 1103 - Gaz d’échappement. Le coude sur lequel se trouve l’orifice de ventilation du carter a été installé sur le mauvais couvercle de culbuteurs, ce qui se traduit par un mauvais dosage des gaz de carter retournés à la chambre de combustion. Correction : Les coudes avec reniflard devront être installés sur le bon côté du moteur.
