- The problem
- Due to insufficient grounding of the internal ignition distributor parts, the ignition could misfire. This could adversely affect vehicle driveability and longevity of the distributor components.
- The fix
- All affected vehicles will be fitted with modified ignition components. This includes a new distributor having improved grounding. All vehicles will be fitted with a capacitor to reduce the high voltage peaks. This will be done at no charge to owner.
