Issued September 27, 2011
Issue
Hazard description
On certain vehicles equipped with a 3.6L engine, debris in the cylinder block (from the manufacturing process) could cause connecting rod bearing and crankshaft bearing damage. As a result, abnormal engine performance may be noticed, and in some cases the engine could fail. Engine failure would result in lost vehicle propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and driver reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the engine assembly.
