Defect
In the crankshaft position sensor of turbocharged engines, the internal coil has insufficient durability. Repeatedly starting the engine and immediately driving at high speed subjects the coil to excessive vibration, which may cause a broken wire in the coil. As a result, the engine may stall during driving or may fail to start.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the crankshaft position sensor with an improved part.
