## What is wrong

ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 2.7 LITER V\-6 ENGINES, IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSORS \(CPS\) WERE INSTALLED.  THE CPS CASES WERE IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED AND DID NOT MEET DIMENSIONAL SPECIFICATIONS.  INTERNAL GAPS WITHIN THE CASES ALLOWED EPOXY TO CONTACT THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD, WHICH RESULTED IN CRACKING OF THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD CAPACITOR.


## What can happen

A DAMAGED CPS CAPACITOR COULD RESULT IN ENGINE STALLING.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CPS.  OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON MARCH 10, 2003.   OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT HYUNDAI AT 1\-800\-829\-9956.
