VAUXHALL announced a problem with the Monterey affecting a total of 5 vehicles.
It is possible that the internal contact resistance of the crimped joints for the grounding between the throttle position sensor (TPS) and engine control module may increase due to engine vibration. This can lead to an increased TPS voltage output, which could lead to an increase in engine revolutions whilst at idle, without any throttle input. Vehicles built from 09/01/1998 to 03/15/1999 are at risk.
The following remedial action is necessary to address this problem. Recall all affected vehicles for the installation of a new wiring harness.
Vehicles with the following identification numbers are affected:
If you think that your vehicle may be affected by this recall you should
