The issue
On certain vehicles equipped with a 7.3L diesel engine, the camshaft position sensor may fail, 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 inspect and, if required, replace the camshaft position sensor.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules munis d'un moteur diesel de 7,3 L, le capteur de position d'arbre à cames pourrait faire défaut, ce qui pourrait faire caler le moteur. Si le moteur calait, il y aurait une perte de puissance qui, conjointement 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 inspecter et, le cas échéant, remplacer le capteur de position de l'arbre à cames.
