11 replacement listings match this model year in our catalog.
That match is an exact model-year row in the retailer fitment feed — not a guess from a similar vehicle. Confirm engine, drivetrain, and production date on the listing before buying.
When a catalog match exists, replacement listings for this model year are linked through parts.autotk.com. This page does not invent compatibility.
The replacement link only appears when the catalog feed has at least one compatible product for this exact model year.
Mechanically related parts include catalytic converter. Similar symptoms can come from those parts or from the broader system, not only from a failed oxygen sensor.
Use the related-component links on this page when those combinations are published. A system-category NHTSA report is not proof that this specific part failed.
A failing oxygen sensor can be one of several causes of a P0420-style catalyst efficiency code. That possibility is not a diagnosis of this vehicle.
Also consider catalytic converter and other system faults. Verify with testing rather than replacing parts from a list.
If the symptom remains after a oxygen sensor replacement, another cause — including catalytic converter — may still be involved, or the replacement may not have addressed the actual fault.
This is a diagnostic branch, not proof that the new part is defective or that the related part has failed.
Find replacement oxygen sensors that match this model year in our catalog. We do not invent fitment.
Find replacement partsDirect mentions are NHTSA owner narratives that contain this component or an accepted alias. Related-system counts are complaints in a mapped category that do not name the part. They are never merged. Mileage statistics use odometer values from 1 to 400,000 miles. This is not a failure rate.
