When not secured, wiring can fall onto the exhaust, melt, and short out causing a check engine light (cel) and, in some cases, the engine to shut down while driving.
How to Fix:
Dealers will secure the oxygen sensor by installing a clamp and by adding an additional fastener free of charge. The safety recall began on March 31, 2011. Owners may contact tmc warranty service department at 1-877-500-1020.
