The hazard
Due to the reversed wires, the wheel speed sensor will not function, disabling the antilock brake system (ABS). Without ABS, the driver may have reduced control of the vehicle while braking and require a longer distance to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
What to do
ILJIN will notify purchasers and will replace the wheel sensor wiring harness, free of charge. ILJIN will fully reimburse any purchasers or end users who have already removed, repaired or replaced the defective part or paid someone to do so. The recall began on December 9, 2013. Owners should contact ILJIN at 1-248-848-1020 to obtain details about the reimbursement program.
