Defect
On the R06A engine, saltwater entering through the front grille reaches the oil control valve that governs operation of the exhaust-side hydraulic VVT (Variable Valve Timing mechanism), causing internal rust that prevents the valve from operating. This results in loss of VVT control, illumination of the engine warning light, and may cause the engine to stall immediately before the vehicle comes to a stop.
Corrective action
Replace the exhaust-side oil control valve with the corrected part on all vehicles.
