Because the part is an emissionrelated component a voluntary emissions recall campaign was conducted.the predominant mode of failure is an inability to start the engine,although a stalled condition can occur while the engine is running.since the reported occurence of accidents and injuries is small, and therepair is being conducted under the emissions recall campaign, theliklehood of further accidents and injuries is remote.===
