Summary

Concerns: Wire harness for engine Information: This is to inform you of a voluntary Workshop Campaign on the above-mentioned vehicles. There is the possibility that moisture can get into the ground splice connections in the wire harness for the engine. As a result, ground splice connections can become corroded over the service life of the vehicles. This can cause signal faults in the oil pressure, oil level and oil temperature sensors, and therefore cause the Check Engine warning light to be activated.
