What can happen

Safety consequence

IF THE UNSEALED CONNECTORS EXPERIENCE A CONDITION THAT ALLOWED MOISTURE TO ENTER, THE ENGINE CAN EXPERIENCE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL PROBLEMS. THE FOOT OPERATED THROTTLE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE ELECTRONIC-GOVERNED ENGINE SPEED, INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

What fixes it

Official remedy

DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW ELECTRICAL HARNESS WITH SEALED CONNECTORS AND RELOCATING THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER.
