    STOP START ENGINE MAY NOT RESTART

    Defect

    The excess length of the wiring harness to the engine control unit could result in a faulty camshaft signal. This faulty camshaft signal may lead to an unintentional cancellation of the automatic starting procedure after automatic engine stop of the automatic start/stop system. In the event of a faulty camshaft signal the engine would not restart as expected following the stop procedure but can be manually restarted immediately by engaging the transmission selector lever position �N� or �D� and by operating the ignition key or the start button (with keyless go). Depending on the traffic situation however an increased accident hazard could result.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and rework the wiring harness to the engine control unit on the affected vehicles as a precautionary measure.

    TRANSMISSION MAY LOCK AT LOW SPEED

    Defect

    The high-voltage battery charger may not have been produced to specification which could lead to an incorrect detection of an external charging cable. This in turn can lead the request for �P� to be activated. If the speed is less than 5 km/h the transmission would activate the park pawl function which will prevent the vehicle from driving further and could increase the risk of an incident.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the high-voltage charger on the affected vehicles.
