Summary
Tech line summary article - we’re getting reports of reduced engine power with the mil on. Service techs are seeing dtc p0369 (cmp sensor circuit intermittent interruption) and signs of excessive camshaft end play. From our investigation, we’ve found that the camshaft thrust cover surface roughness is out of spec. To reduce end play, some techs are replacing the camshaft thrust cover. But eventually, the camshaft will just machine the thrust cover again, resulting in further excessive end play.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 270 complaints in the engine category.
