Details

On certain vehicles operated in areas where road salt and de-icing chemicals are used, if the driver enters the vehicle with a salt/snow mixture on their feet, this could melt and soak the carpet, allowing the salt-water solution to contact the base of the Engine Control Unit (ECU).

As a result, the ECU could suffer corrosion damage, which may cause the engine to stall.

Engine stalling would result in a loss of vehicle propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver’s reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.

Correction: Dealers will install a waterproof cover over the ECU.

A damaged ECU will be replaced.
