What is the danger

Due to a software error, the powertrain control module (PCM) may operate improperly when transitioning from cylinder deactivation to full cylinder activation modes. As a result, an intake valve rocker arm may come out of position and make contact with internal engine parts.

Requirements breached

This may cause the engine to stall in motion without the ability to be restarted, increasing the risk of an accident.
