What is wrong
INCREASED RESISTANCE IN THE SYSTEM WIRING CONNECTORS DUE TO THE POSSIBLE PRESENCE OF LACQUER, PLASTIC RESIDUE ON THE PINS AND IMPERFECT PIN DIAMETERS, MAY CAUSE IGNITION MISFIRING AND, IN EXTREME CASES, INTERMITTENT STALLING.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL INSPECT AND INSERT CONTACT PIN SLEEVES DESIGNED TO SCRAPE ANY LACQUER OR UNWANTED RESIDUE AWAY. THIS WILL PRODUCE HIGHER CONTACT PRESSURE WITHIN THE CONNECTOR AND IMPROVE THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
