REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
Some of the above vehicles equipped may have been built with a high pressure fuel pump (“HPFP”) that could fail prematurely. A HPFP failure may introduce internally failed component debris into the fuel system potentially causing fuel starvation.
Fuel starvation may result in an unexpected loss of motive power, which can cause a vehicle to crash without prior warning.
