Oxygen sensors on the listed vehicles may experience silicon contamination caused by heat decomposition of an internal spacer. This can cause
hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide levels in the engine exhaust to exceed allowable limits. It can also result in the illumination of the "Check Engine"
light, causing a high oxygen sensor replacement rate. To correct the problem, the sensor must be replaced.
Important:
