Defect
The body case of the engine kill sensor — a device that stops the engine in the event of a rollover — is made of an unsuitable material. Over time, the damper oil sealed inside the case decreases, causing the device to malfunction. In the worst case, an excessive impact from the road surface may cause the engine to stall, leaving the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the kill sensor with the corrected part.
