The issue
Certain Spirit and Acclaim with a 2.5 litre flex-fuel engine and Intrepid with a 3.3 litre flex-fuel engine do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 1101 - Emission Device. The methanol fuel sensor may fail due to grounding of the circuit board and a software problem. Correction: An improved methanol concentration sensor will be installed on affected vehicles.
