  • Loss of power
  • Hesitation on acceleration

Cause

Correction

A winter grille cover has been released to address this issue. Instructions for installation are included with the grille cover. The cover can be installed by the technician initially but the technician needs to educate the customer on the removal process after the winter season ends and how the customer will reinstall the cover the following winter season.

Important: The winter grille cover should be installed in extreme cold weather and removed when the winter season changes.

Additional covers and repeat installation are customer pay.
