Certain vehicles equipped with V-6 engines may have a condition where fuel is no longer supplied to the engine. This condition occurs without the illumination of the fuel level low indicator light or the warning chime.
Consequence Summary:
If the engine stops running, the operator will not be able to restart the vehicle which could increase the risk of a crash.
