Left drive shaft may develop cracks, and may break under heavy loading such as that caused by rapid acceleration. This defect originated in a manufacturing process which has now been improved.
Production tolerance errors could allow accidental hood opening. If the hood IS not securely latched in the fully locked position, driving at high speed or hitting a large bump could cause the hood to open without warning.
Voltage regulator may overcharge due to manufacturing errors in an integrated circuit.
The slip joint between the cab mounted steering column shaft and the frame mounted steering gear may not have sufficient clearance. Excessive load on the slip joint may cause failure of the steering column shaft.
Cracks may develop in the weld area of the axle mounting brackets and progress to the axle tube. Cracks can lead to failure of the axle.
Within the steering system, high operating temperatures may cause eventual deterioration of the hose which returns power steering fluid to the pump. The hose may rupture and power steering assist will be lost.
The draglink, a part of the steering linkage that transmits turning movements to the wheels, may loosen or fail at one of its connections. This IS due to inadequate clamping force of the threaded connection on the vertical ball stud.…
Brake line may develop a hole or leak by shorting against a bare, live electrical line. The electrical conductor could lose insulation due to melting by muffler heat.
Air leaks may develop in the two hoses that connect to the emergency brake chambers. The rear emergency brake hose may not extend into the brake hose end fitting, due to poor crimping of the hose.
The steering linkage may separate due to failure of the idler arm universal joint.
The hood latch may fail to hold the hood in position due to a misalignment of the secondary hood latch. This condition IS due to a deformation of the hood during manufacture.
Mounting of the pitman arm may loosen and lead to excessive wear in either the pitman arm splines or the steering gear shaft splines, or both. This condition IS due to incorrect tightening of the mounting screws during assembly.
A spring leaf may fracture through the center hole section. This occurs due to loosening of the spring-to-axle mounting attachment following extreme flexing of the spring leaves. This kind of fracture makes the remaining two leaves…
Front wheels may wobble due to the inadvertent omission of a wheel bearing cup during assembly.
The throttle may jam and may not return to the closed position. This problem IS due to the omission, during assembly, of a nut on the cruise control rod which limits travel in the throttle mechanism.
The fuel pump may stop functioning without warning. This can occur because an electrical connector in the fuse panel may overheat and interrupt the electrical circuit.
Brake lines installed underneath the carpeting in the passenger compartment may rust due to the entry of water and road salt. If rusting remains unchecked, it produces leaks in the lines and brake fluid may be lost.
Vehicles may have fuel or vapor line damage caused when an incorrect procedure was used in tightening bolts on adjacent components during assembly. The fuel tank may become damaged due to a loose cross member that supports it.
A collision could result in a fuel line being pinched between the fuel pump inlet and the electrical diagnostic unit mounting bracket. This could cause a fuel leak which IS a failure to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no.…
Fuel tank may overflow and leak if filled to or past its normal maximum capacity. Excess fuel would escape through the air vent on the tank.
The wiper blade may extend too far and catch on the radio antenna bracket. The connection of the wiper arm and the pivot could be damaged. The condition IS caused by an incorrect setting of the wiper arm height above the pivot.
The rear seat belts do not include emergency-locking or automatic-locking retractors. The belts do not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 208, "occupant crash protection".
Excessive heat may be transferred to the vehicle floor pan in the rear seat area. This occurs because the muffler heat shield was omitted during manufacture of certain fleet cars. Rear seat cushions may be scorched by heat.
Inadequate clearance between the underside of the hood and the throttle linkage could damage the linkage and prevent the throttle from returning to idle position. This condition IS due to installation of the incorrect hood style during…
Wheels may contain defective welds that may fail when the vehicle IS carrying the rated load or a lesser weight.
The right front crossover pipe, which carries brake hydraulic fluid, may break and leak fluid. This occurs when the right front fender skirt contacts the pipe and vibration causes the pipe to wear through.
The master cylinder rear brake pipe, which carries brake fluid to the rear brakes, may develop a leak due to extended chafing on the air cleaner resonator bracket.
The brake proportioner valves may break and separate from the master cylinder. This would allow brake fluid to leak and would result in a partial loss of the brake system.
The vehicle may be able to exceed 30 mph, and will not have sufficient braking capacity or lighting for speeds of 30 mph and above. Because the vehicle can exceed the speed requirement, the brakes have not been certified to meet the…
Vehicles may not meet the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 301, "fuel system integrity". In an impact test from the rear, the bumper support structure deformed enough to allow contact of a support bracket with the…
