DESCRIPTION

Some vehicles may exhibit an engine vibration and rattle noise at idle in D or R range after the engine reaches normal operating temperature. This may be caused by the orifice of the oil-filled No.3 engine mount becoming clogged with deposits generated inside, changing the damping characteristic of the engine mount. To correct the problem, the engine mount has been/will be modified.

Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair procedure.

 

REPAIR PROCEDURE

  2. Replace the No.3 engine mount with a newly established modified part used in mass production or a previously established modified service part according to the instructions on MS3 online (ENGINE MOUNT DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5]).
  3. Verify repair.
