The defect

In vehicles built within this date range and fitted with a V6 diesel engine, an open circuit in the chip housing of the crankshaft position sensor can occur under certain circumstances. This is due to contamination of the silicone which occurred during the supplier's chip manufacturing process. When the problem occurs the engine may lose power and stop and cannot be restarted.
