As a result, engine stalling will occur after a short period of operation.  The vehicle may not be able to be restarted.  Also, a loss of power steering and, after repeated actuation of the brake pedal, a loss of brake power assistance will occur.  If stalling were to occur, the driver would be unable to maintain vehicle speed or accelerate.  Steering and braking, while possible, would be difficult.  Depending on traffic conditions and the driver's reactions, this could lead to a crash.  Correction:  Dealers will replace the digital engine management control unit.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":null,"part_number":null,"units":355,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Autres","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules, l'unité de contrôle de gestion numérique du moteur n'a pas été fabriquée selon les exigences. En conséquence, le moteur calera après une courte période de fonctionnement. Il pourrait être impossible de redémarrer le véhicule. De plus, il n'y aura plus de direction assitée et, après une activation répétée de la pédale de frein, il n'y aura plus non plus de freins assités. Si le moteur calait, le conducteur serait incapable de maintenir sa vitesse ou d'accélérer. Il serait difficile de diriger le véhicule et de freiner; par la suite, ces opérations deviendraient impossible. Selon l'état de la circulation et les réactions du conducteur, cela pourrait causer un accident.
