Recall summary
A bearing is fitted between moving engine components where it reduces friction and makes their movement smoother.
Due to a manufacturing error, engine bearings in the affected vehicles may disintegrate into metal shavings, which can lead to engine damage and cause it to stall. The failed bearing can also “breach the engine block,” resulting in an oil leak and a fire.
Recall risks
A stalled vehicle can get hit by oncoming traffic, increasing the risk of an injury. A fire can greatly ups the risk of injury or loss of life.
Warning signs
Before it stalls, the engine might “run rough” and produce unusual knocking sounds. In addition, the failure may trigger a check engine light, accompanied by corresponding warning messages.
