Recall campaigns

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL 96V049000 1996-03-12 3,000 affected
Defect

THE COATING USED TO PROTECT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SHAFT IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE BRONZE BUSHING THROUGH WHICH THE SHAFT PASSES. OVER TIME, AND IN THE PRESENCE OF A CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENT (WATER, ROAD SALT), THE SHAFT CAN CORRODE INSIDE THE BUSHING INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF FRICTION BETWEEN THE ROTATING SHAFT AND THE…

Consequence

A CORRODED ACCELERATOR PEDAL SHAFT CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE THROTTLE TO BIND AND NOT FULLY RETURN TO IDLE WHEN THE OPERATOR'S FOOT IS REMOVED FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL INSTALL A REVISED ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND SHAFT ASSEMBLY.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL 95V023000 1995-02-13 150 affected
Defect

WATER CAN ACCUMULATE IN THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE AND IF THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW FREEZING AND THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ENGAGED, THE WATER CAN FREEZE CAUSING THE CABLE TO BIND AND NOT RELEASE AS INTENDED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS APPLIED OR THE SYSTEM IS TURNED OFF AT THE MASTER CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH.

Consequence

THE ENGINE THROTTLE CAN STICK OPEN RESULTING IN LOSS OF THROTTLE CONTROL WITH THE INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE CURRENT CRUISE CONTROL ACTUATOR AND CABLE ASSEMBLY AND INSTALL A NEW ASSEMBLY. ADDITIONALLY, DEALERS WILL CHANGE THE ROUTING OF THE CABLE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE 94V164000 1994-09-01 2,300 affected
Defect

THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH WHICH CONTROLS THE POWER TO THE ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP CAN FAIL. FAILURE IS DUE TO A MISSING RUBBER SEAL BETWEEN THE SWITCH AND THE WIRING HARNESS. THE MISSING SEAL ALLOWS CONTAMINANTS TO ENTER THE SWITCH CAUSING IT TO FAIL IN THE OPEN OR CLOSED POSITION.

Consequence

IF THE SWITCH FAILS IN THE CLOSED POSITION, THE PUMP WILL CONTINUE TO RUN WHEN THE ENGINE IS OFF, DRAINING THE BATTERY. IF THE SWITCH FAILS IN THE OPEN POSITION IT WILL CAUSE POOR PERFORMANCE AND POSSIBLY STALLING.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLES FOR THE PRESENCE OF THE SEAL. IF THE SEAL IS MISSING, THE SWITCH WILL BE REPLACED AND A NEW SEAL WILL BE INSTALLED.
