Reason

In the worst case this short circuit may cause a fuse inside the Power Distribution Module (IPDM) to fail stopping power to the ignition relay. In this condition the engine may stall and prevent the customer from being able to restart the engine. Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the ignition coil with new.
