Consumer Description
The Active Fuel Management Lifters can cause catastrophic failures by getting stuck in the closed position causing low oil pressure, misfiring, and ticking due to the entire AFM system making the camshaft and valve train wear faster. It is available for inspection upon request. My safety is put at risk due to the possibility of causing accidents or leaving me stranded in an extreme environment.
