If the engine fails while the vehicle is in motion, the risk of a crash increases.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the engine and repair or replace it as necessary for free. If the vehicle passes inspection, dealers will add high-viscosity oil, install a new oil fill cap, replace the oil filter, and update the owner's manual.
