- Manufactured:
- 07/31/1982 - 08/31/1982
- Affected:
- 479
- Defect:
- The travel computer system wiring, on the involved vehicles, may be improperly connected. this condition can cause damage to internal components.
- Correction:
- The wiring will be reconnected to ensure proper functioning of ignition system..
- Notes:
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with optional travel computersystems.system: electrical; travel computer system, wiring.consequences of defect: damage to internal components of the systems interfacemodule could affect the engine ignition system causing loss of ignition alongwith the inability to restart the engine. this presents a traffic hazard fromwhich an accident could result.
- Campaign:
- 82V091000 on 10/07/1982
- Component:
- Fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:filler pipe and cap
- Manufactured:
- 07/31/1982 - 08/31/1982
- Affected:
- 5,234
- Defect:
- The involved vehicles may be equipped with an electrical fuel filler door release which is activated through a coiled current carrying wire (a solenoid). a short in the solenoid could cause sparking at the attaching screws of the solenoid.
- Correction:
- A solenoid ground wire will be installed, by the dealer, to prevent sparking of solenoid.
- Notes:
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles.system: fuel; fuel filler pipe cap.consequences of defect: electrical sparking at the solenoid attaching screwscould ignite any fuel vapors that may be present at the fuel filler pipe cap.personal injury and fire damage could result.
- Campaign:
- 82V123000 on 12/14/1982
- Component:
- Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
- Manufactured:
- 07/31/1982 - 10/31/1982
- Affected:
- 50,000
- Defect:
- Hydraulic brake tubing routed to the left rear wheel brake system may have been bent out of shape during assembly and could chafe against the exhaust system hanger bolt.
- Correction:
- Dealer will inspect and relocate tube, if necessary. a retaining clip will be installed to ensure adequate clearance for the tubing; any damaged tubes will also be replaced.
- Notes:
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles.system: service brakes; hydraulic brake tubing.consequences of defect: continued chafing will eventually wear a hole in thetubing and result in loss of brake fluid and partial loss of brakingcapability, which could cause an accident.note: the brake warning light should alert operator to the partial system loss.
- Campaign:
- 83V060000 on 06/30/1983
- Component:
- Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
- Manufactured:
- 04/30/1983 - 04/30/1983
- Affected:
- 3,785
- Defect:
- Location of hydraulic brake tube to both rear wheels causes interference and chafing between the tubes and rear suspension trailing arm pivot brackets.
- Correction:
- Dealer will inspect rear wheel brake tubes and reroute to ensure proper tube to pivot bracket clearance. any damaged tubes will also be replaced.
- Notes:
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles.system: service brakes; rear hydraulic brake tubes.consequences of defect: tube failure and a partial loss of braking capabilitycould result. this could cause an accident and personal injury.note: illumination of an instrument panel warning light should alert driver toa brake tube failure.
- Campaign:
- 89V052000 on 04/12/1989
- Component:

- Manufactured:
- 07/31/1980 - 06/30/1983
- Affected:
- 500,000
- Defect:
- Front suspension crossmember may corrode and fail at lower control arm rear pivot mounts if operated where salt is used to aid in snow removal.
- Consequence:
- Control arm could detach from the crossmember, adverselyaffecting directional stability, which could result in an accident.
- Correction:
- Install attachment reinforcement brackets to prevent control arm detachment as a result of corrosion weakening.
- Notes:
- System: front suspension crossmember.vehicle description: passenger cars.
