In this mode, engine power and vehicle speed are reduced, while full functionality of the power steering, power braking, lighting, and climate control systems are maintained. If diagnosis identifies the throttle body as the causal component, dealers are authorized to replace the throttle body under this warranty extension program. This service must be performed at no charge to the vehicle owner. Please refer to Attachments I and II for details. This is a warranty extension for the specified repair only. Inspection and replacement of non-failed parts will not be eligible for reimbursement to the dealer or customer.

The warranty coverage for applicable repair is extended to 10 years (120 months) from the original warranty start date or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. If you are a recipient of this notice, your vehicle is included in this warranty extension program. What is the problem? Your vehicle may develop contamination on the internal motor contacts of the Throttle Body, resulting in intermittent electrical connectivity. If this condition is present, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp or Wrench Lamp will illuminate, and the vehicle may also enter a fail-safe mode.
