Defect description

MOISTURE PRESENT IN THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION SYSTEM MAY, UNDER CONDITIONS OF SUB-ZERO TEMPERATURES AND LOW EGR FLOW RATE, CONDENSE AND FREEZE IN THE THROTTLE CHAMBER. AN ICING CONDITION COULD OCCUR IF THE VEHICLE OWNER FAILS TO ADEQUATELY WARM UP THE ENGINE BEFORE DRIVING. THIS COULD PREVENT THE THROTTLE FROM CLOSING COMPLETELY AND WOULD RESULT IN HIGHER THAN NORMAN IDLE RPM.

Manufacturer remedy

THE DEALER WILL INSTALL A THROTTLE CHAMBER HEATING KIT TO PREVENT ICING AT NO CHARGE TO OWNER.
