Summary:

Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles equipped with 1.8 liter engines. As a result of the length and routing of the injector harness, it can contact the manifold at the EGR pipe. If the harness is damaged, a short circuit can occur, blowing the fuse for the fuel injector.

This can result in the engine stalling.

Dealers will reroute the injector harness and replace the harness if it has been damaged.
