The issue
On certain vehicles, the engine valve springs could fracture, causing an engine failure or a stall with an inability to restart. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the engine valve springs. Note: A driver may notice abnormal noise and/or vibration prior to an engine failure or stalling.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, les ressorts de soupape du moteur pourraient se briser, ce qui entraînerait la défaillance du moteur ou un calage sans possibilité de redémarrer. Cela pourrait augmenter les risques d'un accident blessant quelqu'un ou endommageant des biens matériels. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les ressorts de soupape du moteur. Note : Un conducteur pourrait remarquer des vibrations ou un bruit anormaux avant le calage ou la défaillance du moteur.
