Recall 2006161

The issue

On certain vehicles equipped with a 2.5L engine, the crank angle sensor can malfunction causing the engine to stall. Engine stalling would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Electronic Control Module (ECM) to prevent stalling.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules équipés du moteur de 2,5 L, le capteur de position du vilebrequin pourrait mal fonctionner, ce qui ferait caler le moteur. Si le moteur calait, le véhicule cesserait d'avancer, ce qui, ajouté à l'état de la circulation et de la route, et aux réactions du conducteur, pourrait augmenter les risques d'accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront reprogrammer le module de commande électronique afin d'éviter que le moteur cale.
