| Description of the problem | Defect summary: on certain passenger vehicles equipped with a 2. 5l engine, a variation in temperature occurs due to the unique location of the sensor in the engine. Under certain driving conditions, these variations in temperature can be large enough to cause a brief interruption in the signal output from the sensor. Consequence summary: if the interruption in the signal from the sensor is so brief that the electronic control module (ecm) logic does not have time to diagnose the condition, the engine may stop running without warning while the vehicle is driven at a low speed increasing the risk of a crash. Same problem as nhtsa #: 06424000 - my vin # was not included in the recall, though i have the exact same defect. |
