Defect
The engine control computer contains an incorrect EGR valve control program. Repeated accelerator pedal operation can cause the EGR valve opening to deviate from the commanded position, preventing the valve from closing fully. As a result, exhaust gas continuously recirculates, causing engine malfunction. In the worst case, the engine may stall while driving.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reprogram the engine control computer with the corrected software.
