What this recall means for you
Metallic debris in the fuel system can clog a fuel injector or the fuel volume control valve in certain diesel-engine vehicles built between July 2015 and April 2016. When the fuel flow is blocked, the engine may stall while you are driving, which raises the risk of a crash.
