Defect

The engine control unit's recovery logic is inadequate for conditions where engine speed drops sharply at low rpm — such as when internal damage occurs in the air conditioning compressor. The recovery control cannot respond in time, and in the worst case, the engine may stall during low-speed driving.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, the engine control unit will be reprogrammed with the corrected/updated software. If internal damage to the compressor is confirmed at the time of or after reprogramming, the compressor will be replaced with a corrected/revised part.
