“Due to a software issue, the Engine Control Module (ECM) may incorrectly reduce the engine speed. If this occurs, the engine may stall, resulting in a loss of motive power,” the carmaker said in its recall notice.

“A loss of motive power whilst driving could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.”
