What is wrong
Vehicle description: passenger cars. Vapors from the positive crankcase ventilation (pcv) system can condense and freeze inside of the throttle body when the vehicle is operated in extremely cold ambient temperatures.
The risk
This can prevent the throttle from fully returning to idle, which could cause a crash without warning.
The fix
Dealers will replace and relocate a pcv system tube.
