Recall 00V299002: CKP Sensor Harness Defect

The harness for the crankshaft position sensor could come in contact with a new protective shield causing a grounded circuit.

Prolonged wiring harness contact with the heat shield will cause the wiring insulation to wear and eventually to ground out. This could cause the engine to die-out, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will re-route the crankshaft position sensor harness.
