Defect
On the engine, the cylinder-identification rotor mounted on the camshaft is misaligned on some units. Continued use causes a delay in fuel delivery timing, resulting in misfires and rough engine operation. In the worst case, the catalytic converter is damaged and exhaust emissions exceed the regulatory limit.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the cylinder-identification position of the camshaft and replace any defective camshaft with a conforming part.
