PROLONGED CONTACT WITH ROAD SALT MAY, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, CAUSE SERIOUS RUSTING. THIS CAN WEAKEN CERTAIN UNDERCARRIAGE COMPONENTS: LATERAL SUSPENSION ARMS, FRONT CROSSBEAM AND STRUT COIL SPRING LOWER SUPPORTS.
VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND, IF NECESSARY, TREATED WITH A RUST PREVENTIVE COATING. IN SOME CASES, REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENTS WILL BE PERFORMED, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
THE INTERNAL MUFFLER PRESSURE CAN CREATE A SPLIT IN THE SEAM IF THE MUFFLER IS IN A DETERIORATED CONDITION. IF THIS CONDITION EXISTS, THE EXHAUST GAS ESCAPING FROM THE SPLIT SEAM CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE HEATING OF A SMALL AREA OF THE REAR STORAGE COMPARTMENT.
DEALER WILL INSTALL A MUFFLER COVER TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE FLOOR TEMPERATURES IN CASE OF MUFFLER SEAM SPLITTING.
A SHORT CIRCUIT MAY OCCUR IN THE MANUALLY OPERATED CHOKE OVERRIDE MECHANISM. THIS COULD CAUSE THE OVERRIDE MECHANISM HOUSING AND OUTER COVER OF THE CHOKE CABLE TO MELT AND BURN.
DEALER WILL REPOSITION THE RESISTOR TO PREVENT INTERFERENCE BETWEEN THE CHOKE CABLE HOLDING PLATE AND THE LEAD WIRE OF THE RESISTOR, WITHOUT CHARGE.
