## What is wrong

NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 2.3 LITRE ENGINE.

IN SUB ZERO TEMPERATURES, MOISTURE FROM THE CRANKCASE VENTILATION   SYSTEM COULD CAUSE ICE BUILDUP BEHIND THE THROTTLE BLADE THEREBY   PREVENTING THE THROTTLE FROM RETURNING TO IDLE WHEN THE ACCERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.

CORRECTION: AN ENGINE VENTILATION KIT WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES TO PREVENT MOISTURE ACCUMULATION IN THE CRANKCASE.
