Defect
On vehicles equipped with an idling stop system, the integrated starter-generator has insufficient electrical circuit resistance. The high current surge during engine restart from an idling stop event may damage internal components. This can cause a short circuit, preventing the engine from restarting after an idling stop. In the worst case, heat generated by the short circuit may cause the generator to burn out.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the generator with a corrected part.
