Engine and engine cooling: engineReported September 26, 2000 · 135 vehicles affected

What is wrong: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The harness for the crankshaft position sensor could come in contact with a new protective shield causing a grounded circuit.
Risk: Prolonged wiring harness contact with the heat shield will cause the wiring insulation to wear and eventually to ground out. This could cause the engine to die-out, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will re-route the crankshaft position sensor harness.
