The affected vehicles have been marked with campaign number 0061520000 in AIR.
In order to determine if a specific vehicle is affected by this campaign it will be necessary to verify the
vehicle VIN in AIR (Aftersales Information Research). Based on the response of the system, either proceed
with the repair or take no further action. Please note, open campaigns or vehicle stops may not appear in
DCS Warranty Vehicle Inquiry or sales systems until 24-72 hours after they are announced, therefore AIR is
always the recommended method for determining open campaigns and vehicle stops.
SITUATION
Wiring harnesses installed during assembly with individual pins, in both the large and small connections to
the engine control unit (DME), were not manufactured correctly. This may cause faults in the engine control
unit and subsequent engine run in emergency mode.

terminal without forcing it past the resistance/stop felt.
A Defective terminal is when inserting the test pin into the terminal without using any force to move past the
natural resistance/stop of the terminal to the pin connection. Once a defective terminal/s is detected, it
needs to be marked on the attached “Pin Record Sheet”..
Attention
Do not use force!
Do not push the pin inside! If you feel any resistance STOP!
Check Result
If a defective terminal (NOT OK (NOK)) is detected, please contact the Technical Support Via TSARA case
