The insulation layer that is required to prevent short circuits within the semiconductor may be missing on these semiconductors. FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : If this condition is present in the vehicle, it might cause a failure of the affected semiconductor, thus influencing fuel injection and engine operation. This could lead to a stalling condition, which could increase the risk of a crash. The vehicle´s steering and braking support will remain fully functional, even if the engine were to switch off while the vehicle is moving. Description of the Cause : Due to an insufficient screening process, semiconductors that have not been produced according to manufacturing specifications may have been installed into the affected engine control units.
