Defect
The crankcase baffle wall geometry is improperly designed, causing the oil pump to ingest air and resulting in insufficient lubrication of the connecting rod crankshaft-side bearings. Continued use causes premature bearing wear and increasing rotational resistance. In the worst case, the engine may stall and cannot be restarted.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, install a corrected plate on the crankcase baffle wall.
