Affected:: 2,570,914
Defect:: Exhaust emissions (carbon monoxide) may enter the interior of the vehicle when the exhaust pipe is substantially out the design position, deteriorated from use, or when an opening in the body develops near the exhaust outlet and, at the same time, a negative air pressure occurs in the vehicle interior.

Campaign:: 71V235000 on 06/11/1981
Component:: Engine and engine cooling:engine
Affected:: 6,682,084

Consequence:: Unexpected loss of throttle control may cause loss ofvehicle control and an accident.
Correction:: Inspect engine mounts and install restraints which will limit engine lift and eliminate possible secondary effects to the throttle linkage due to engine mount separation.
Notes:: System: engine.vehicle description: passenger vehicles, light trucks and vans.
