Defect
During engine assembly, the crankshaft thrust bearing was installed in the wrong orientation on some units. This reduces the bearing's sliding performance and causes accelerated wear. Continued use produces abnormal noise and, in the worst case, may cause the bearing to seize, leaving the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the engine with a conforming unit in which the thrust bearing is correctly installed.
