- If the driver is slow to react during this esc intervention, the vehicle may deviate from the intended line of travel, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- Mci will notify owners and replace the control module free of charge. the safety recall began on january 4, 2012. owners may contact mci customer service at 1-800-241-2947.
