Risk and remedy
Risk
The reduced strength can allow the cast iron wear surface to separate from the hub, reducing the brake effectiveness of the vehicle.
Remedy
Dealers will replace these rotors with rotors that are coated with a corrosion protection.
The automatic shoulder belt systems can malfunction and become inoperative.
Risk and remedy
Risk
The lack of passive restraints could increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a vehicle collision.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the system track and drive assembly on automatic shoulder belt systems which are currently inoperative and those systems when they become inoperative in the future.
The end cap connecting the heat exchanger's core to the engine cooling system could rupture and allow hot coolant to escape into the passenger compartment.
Risk and remedy
Risk
The coolant escaping into the passenger compartment could contact the driver's feet and injure the driver. Also, steam from the heater liquid will cloud on the window surfaces and impair the driver's vision. In either case, failure of the heater core end cap could result in a vehicle accident.
Remedy
A coolant temperature controlled heater core fluid bypass valve will be installed.
Rear brake tube routing IS contacted by fuel tank heat shield when suspension IS in full jounce position. This damages the brake fluid tube, causing a leak.
Risk and remedy
Risk
Loss of fluid from half of the diagonally split brakehydraulic system affects braking capability, which could result in an accident.
Remedy
Modify heat shield to eliminate potential for shield contacting brake tube.
Routing of the front brake hose may cause excessive hose flexing resulting in premature fatigue cracking of the outer hose cover.
Risk and remedy
Risk
This could lead to hose failure and loss of brake fluidreducing braking effectiveness.
Remedy
Replace front brake hoses with hoses redesigned to provide a modified routing configuration.
Lower intermediate steering shaft may separate at the rubber isolated coupling of the shaft.
Risk and remedy
Risk
This could result in loss of steering control and an accident.
Remedy
Replace intermediate steering shaft with a shaft containing a restrained coupling.
