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 circuit board, which resulted in cracking of the circuit board capacitor.
Safety risk
A damaged cps capacitor could result in engine stalling.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the cps. Owner notification began may 17, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact hyundai caribbean at 1-787-251-8715.
