Recall 2015091

The issue

On certain vehicles, during assembly, some of the connecting rod bolts may not have been torqued to the correct specification. If a connecting rod bolt was not torqued correctly, it could loosen and result in the engine making an unusual rattling/knocking noise, leaking oil, and/or engine failure. Engine failure would result in a loss of motive power, which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the engine short block.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, certains des boulons de bielle pourraient avoir été mal serrés lors de l'assemblage. Si un boulon de bielle n'a pas été serré correctement, il pourrait se desserrer et cela pourrait causer un cliquetis ou un son de cognement inhabituel dans le moteur, une fuite d'huile et/ou une panne de moteur. Une telle panne causerait une perte de puissance motrice, ce qui augmenterait les risques de collision pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le bloc-moteur embiellé.
