BMW 03V-124 2047 V 5/5/2003 2003 325i; 325Ci; 325i Touring 3BMXV02.5M56 The potential defect involves the electronic programming of the digital 1,

engine management control unit with regard to engine idle control. With the 

engine running, and the vehicle at rest (i.e. after the tank ventilation 

diagnosis has been performed), an increase of engine idle speed (up to 

1,300 rpm) may be detected by the driver. 

Remedy: BMW has decided to implement a safety-related Recall 

Campaign 03V-124 to reprogram the digital engine management control 

unit of the potentially affected vehicles free of charge to the customer. 

BMW 03E-A01 2061 V 7/1/2003 2002 745i, 745Li 2BMXV04.4LEV Because of production process failures, the ignition coil of one supplier 18

2003 3BMXV04.4LEV (Bremi) may have an internal insulation break-down in the primary electric 21

circuit, the secondary electric circuit and/or a disruptive discharge. 

Remedy: BMW has decided to implement a Voluntary Emission Recall 

Campaign to replace all ignition coils with a new improved version. 

BMW 03V-240 2089 V 7/8/2003 2002 745i, 745Li 2BMXV04.4LEV The potential defect involves the programming of the digital engine 38

2003 3BMXV04.4LEV management control unit. Specifically, due to a software error, a 16

desynchronization of the valvetronic motors for engine banks 1 and 2 may 

occur. If this occurs, it would cause a rough-running engine. If this 

happens, the check engine light will illuminate, and the message "engine 

malfunction, Drive with moderation" will appear in the vehicle's instrument 

cluster message display area. In certain extreme cases, the engine could 

stall. In those cases, the Driver may not be able to restart the engine. 

Remedy: BMW has decided to implement a safety-related Recall 

campaign 03V-240 to reprogram the digital engine management control unit. 

DAIMLER/CHRYSLER C15 2048 V 5/5/2003 2003 Jeep Liberty 3CRXT02.43D0 Certain 2003 Model Year Jeep Liberty vehicles were manufactured with fuel 6

3CRXT03.72Z0 pump module components that did not conform to tolerance specifications 

required of the part supplier. The resulting increase in fuel system pressure 

may lead to increased exhaust emissions. 

Remedy: DaimlerChrysler will conduct a Voluntary Emission Recall (C15) 

of the suspected vehicles and replace the fuel pump module if it is 

determined to be part of the affected population. 

DAIMLER/CHRYSLER C23 2090 V 10/6/2003 2003 Concorde; 300M; Intrepid 3CRXV03.5VD0 Some 2003 model year Chrysler Concorde, 300M, and Dodge Intrepid 21

vehicles have Vehicle emission Control Information (VECI) labels which 

retained the vacuum operated Secondary Runner Valve (SRV) schematic 

from the 2002 model year. The 2003 model year SRV is electrically 

operated. Remedy: A new VECI lable will be sent to the vehicle onwner. Owner can 

have dealer install label. The 2003 service manual, now available on their 

service information website, shows the SRV in its proper place on the 

manifold with the proper electrical connections.

GENERAL MOTORS 1038 1645 V 4/21/2003 1996 W Platform TGM3.4VJGFEK Corrosion of the solenoid internal to the AIR pump may cause failure of the 

AIR system. When the solenoid is activated during normal operation, the 

AIR pump air is allowed to flow into the engine. High exhaust backpressure 

may cause moist exhaust gas to enter the AIR pump. The moisture can lead to corrosion of the solenoid. When corrosion causes the solenoid to 

40

fail, the AIR pump air is not allowed to flow into the engine. 

Remedy: Replace the air pump solenoid. 

GENERAL MOTORS 3005 2035 V 3/30/2003 2002 Seville, DeVille, 2GMXV04.6065 Affected vehicles may experience a loss of signal from the Powertrain 126

1998 Discovery WLRXT04.6OO1 complaints from the vehicle owners. The manifolds are cracking due to 11

being subjected to excessive mechanical stress caused by thermal cycling 

of the cast iron. 

Remedy: A change to the material specification of the manifold was 

introduced during the 1998 MY that reduces the shrinkage and hence its 

susceptibility to failure. Land Rover will send a recall letter to owners of the 

affected vehicles of a service action to replace the manifold on vehicles 

manufactured during the build period with the current design.

Oxygen sensor malfunction-The main cause of failure was a 

slow response signal output characterized by a long 

switching time and low amplitude. These abnormal signal outputs are caused by contamination of the oxygen sensor 

from oil or other exhaust impurities that are present during 

operation. Remedy: To correct this, an additional calcium coating has been applied to the surface of the sensor which will protect the sensor from contamination. The ECM will be

HYUNDAI SC026 1992 VSC 3/31/2003 2002 Spectra 2KMXV01.8A05 The fault determined by the OBD system is a small 64665 CL(CA+NL

2003 3KMXV01.8A06 evaporative system leak (P0442) caused by cracking of the 12903 

plastic at the nipple of the ORVR valve hose connection 

leading to the Roll Over Valve (ROV). The OBD system is 

capable of noting the cracking condition and sets the MIL 

with a small evaporative leak fault code. 

Remedy: The repair will involve a replacement of the ORVR 

valve with a strengthened nipple design, and a rerouting of 

the hose to avoid the interference. Kia will notify owners to 

be aware of the potential of this problem under a voluntary 

service campaign and will repair their vehicles at no cost to 

the owner.

*For the purposes of this report only, a Recall Campaign is a direct owner notification requesting or recommending that 

the vehicle be brought into a service facility for inspection and/or repair regardless of whether there is an indication of 

failure. For the purposes of this report only, a Voluntary Service Campaign is a direct owner notification alerting the 

owner of a potential problem should there be an indication of failure, and how the problem will be remedied by the 

manufacturer should the problem effect the owner's vehicle. EPA recognizes that manufacturers may wish to 

voluntarily notify their customers of potential issues for which service may be required. However, under 40 CFR 

85.1902 (d), any repair, adjustment, or modification program voluntarily initiated by a manufacturer to remedy any 

emission-related defect for which direct owner notification is provided is defined as a Voluntary Emissions Recall.
