Certain vehicles may experience intermittent low speed engine stalling. This may occur if the Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor electrical signal is interrupted as a result of engine vibration transmitted to the MAF Sensor connector wiring harness. Intermittent low speed engine stalling may result in a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the MAF Sensor connector and a portion of the wiring harness to incorporate a new relief loop in the harness to reduce the vibration that may be transmitted to the sensor connector.
