## What is wrong

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:  PASSENGER VEHICLES.  THE HARNESS FOR THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR COULD COME IN CONTACT WITH A NEW PROTECTIVE SHIELD CAUSING A GROUNDED CIRCUIT.


## What can happen

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.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL RE\-ROUTE THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR HARNESS.
