What the authority reported
The manufacturer identified that the indicated models required a replacement of the starter motor, since there is a risk that water may enter certain points of the starter motor and cause corrosion. As a result, in some cases the engine may fail to start; that is, it may cause a short circuit that can lead to overheating of the starter motor and, in extreme cases, even cause a thermal fire in the vehicle, even while it is parked.
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
