Recall 2018506

The issue

On certain vehicles equipped with a 2.0 L engine, the catalytic converter could overheat due to engine misfires. The high temperatures generated could damage the surrounding wiring or components, which could result in a loss of motive power and/or increase the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update the engine control module software to prevent the catalytic converter from overheating.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules munis d'un moteur de 2,0 L, le convertisseur catalytique pourrait surchauffer à cause de ratés de moteur. Les hautes températures produites pourraient endommager les pièces ou les fils environnants, ce qui pourrait causer une perte de puissance motrice ou augmenter les risques d'un incendie blessant quelqu'un ou endommageant des biens matériels. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront mettre à jour le logiciel du module de commande du moteur pour empêcher le convertisseur catalytique de surchauffer.
