Details

On certain vehicles, the digital engine management control unit was not produced according to specifications.

As a result, engine stalling will occur after a short period of operation.

The vehicle may not be able to be restarted.

Also, a loss of power steering and, after repeated actuation of the brake pedal, a loss of brake power assistance will occur.

If stalling were to occur, the driver would be unable to maintain vehicle speed or accelerate.

Steering and braking, while possible, would be difficult.

Depending on traffic conditions and the driver's reactions, this could lead to a crash.

Correction: Dealers will replace the digital engine management control unit.
