Improvement Campaign 2102930 — Computer (engine control)

Overview

Issue

The speed control program in the engine control unit is incorrect. If a driver performs unauthorized modifications or deliberate manipulation of the accelerator pedal switch that activates speed suppression, the speed limiter may be disabled. (Note 1) For in-service vehicles fitted with an aftermarket speed limiter, the engine control unit is to be replaced with the corrected part in the same manner. For vehicles for which a corrected control unit cannot be produced, the accelerator link assembly is to be replaced with a version fitted with a cover that prevents intentional manipulation by the driver. (Note 2) This recall was originally filed on September 26, 2005 under improvement campaign notification number 293. A partial error in the vehicle count was subsequently identified, and the affected vehicle model codes, chassis numbers, production period, and total count have been corrected accordingly (January 18, 2006).

Corrective action

Replace the engine control unit on all affected vehicles with a corrected part incorporating the updated speed control program.
