What's wrong, in plain English
These vehicles have an engine part called a connecting rod bearing, and a manufacturing error affects it. Because of this defect, the bearing can wear down over time and eventually seize up inside the engine. When that happens, the engine can become damaged. A damaged engine may not run the way it should, and it could even stop working suddenly while the vehicle is being driven.
What you should do
