What NHTSA recorded

The electronic ignition system sensor circuit contains a two-wire connector which could cause difficulty in the engine ignition. This difficulty may be caused by mechanical or chemical actions at the connector.

Remedy

The two-wire connector will be modified by the dealer by cutting and solder-splicing the wires.
