Recall 03V030000: Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement

DEFECT: 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 circuit board capacitor. A damaged CPS capacitor could result in engine stalling.


REMEDY: Dealers will replace the CPS. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification was expected to begin during February 2003. (This recall is an expansion of a previous recall, 01V388). Owners may contact Hyundai at 1-800-633-5151.
