- Campaign:
- 85V116000 on 09/29/1985
- Component:
- Electrical system:wiring:front underhood
- Manufactured:
- 07/31/1985 - 07/31/1985
- Affected:
- 7,886
- Defect:
- The electronic engine control wiring harness insulation may be damaged due to copper spikes produced during the welding of its wires. this creates a potential for a short circuit between the wires which energize the fuel pump, causing some fuel injectors to open, discharging fuel into the engine. consequence of defect: fuel discharged into the engine would eventually leak through the exhaust system to the ground. this could result in a fire if a source of ignition is present.
- Correction:
- Repair wiring harness, check engine and catalyst for damage.
- Notes:
- Vehicle description: light trucks equipped with 2.9 liter engine. system: electronic engine control wiring harness.

- Correction:
- Install retainer clips over the couplings to prevent coupling separation and fuel leakage.
- Notes:
- System: fuel line couplingvehicle description: passenger cars and light trucks equipped with fuelinjection.
