Defect
On vehicles equipped with an idling stop Smart Simple hybrid system, the internal bearing seal specification in the ECO motor is inadequate, resulting in insufficient sealing performance. If contaminants enter the bearing, the bearing may sustain damage and produce abnormal noise. Continued operation in this condition may cause the ECO motor to fail and the engine to stall.
Corrective action
Replace the ECO motor on all vehicles with a corrected part. Owners will be notified separately and scheduled for replacement as corrected parts become available.
