On certain vehicles, an electronic fault may create a situation where the cruise control cannot be deactivated. If this occurs and the driver does not apply the brakes or shift the transmission to neutral, the vehicle could maintain speed or accelerate without warning, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software and perform an update as necessary. Note: In the interim, owners are advised not to use the cruise control until the vehicle is repaired.

Certain vehicles may experience intermittent operation of the crankshaft or camshaft sensor. Intermittent operation of the crankshaft or camshaft sensor may result in illumination of a malfunction indicator lamp (“MIL”), the vehicle not starting or the engine stalling while driving, causing a loss of motive power which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the crankshaft and camshaft connector.
