According to the ACCC recall report, “if the powertrain control module fails, the driver may experience a no-start, a start-and-immediate stall condition, or an engine stall while driving.”

The repercussions of losing power while driving are obvious and could cause a vehicle to crash without any prior warnings.

The recall affects only 20 vehicles, and all owners of affected vehicles will be notified as soon as parts become available.

FCA Australia is not aware of any incidents in Australia.
