Reason for concern

ENGINE MAY STALL

Reason for recall

Under certain conditions condense water in the intake air can corrode the needle bearing housing. Due to corrosion of the bearing housing the sealing between intake air and the electrical actuator circuit of the throttle body might not be water tight anymore. In the condition that water enters in the throttle body actuator circuit the water might cause a throttle body position misreading or short circuit inside the throttle body electrical actuation mechanism. This might trigger the engine to stall while driving.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the throttle body with a newly designed one. In addition the engine wire harness and the engine ECU will be inspected and replaced if necessary.
