1990 JEEP CHEROKEE Recalls (9)

Campaign:
90V177000 on 01/03/1991
Component:
Vehicle speed control:cruise control
Manufactured:
04/30/1989 - 05/31/1990
Affected:
165,000
Defect:
Malfunction of fuel injection system throttle postition sensor could cause intermittent high engine idle speed immediately after starting engine.
Consequence:
High engine idle when car is first placed in gear couldresult in unexpected acceleration.
Correction:
Replace throttle position sensors with sensors that would send correct signals to the fuel injection system.
Notes:
System: throttle position sensor.vehicle description: multi-purpose vehicles equipped with 4.0 l engine andautomatic transmission.
Campaign:
91V003000 on 01/14/1991
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
Manufactured:
12/31/1988 - 05/31/1990
Affected:
33,000
Defect:
There may be hydraulic fluid contamination from condensation formation that can plug the abs brake booster pump filter; stress corrosion of the master cylinder snap ring has been traced to chlorine leaking from the low pressure hydraulic hose which may cause it to break; front brake hose to tire interference which may cause failure of the brake hose.
Consequence:
Contamination of the hydraulic fluid can causemalfunctioning of the anti-lock brake system; low pressure hose leakage causesloss of brake fluid and also results in corrosion and failure of the mastercylinder snap ring, resulting complete brake failure; failure of the front brakehose due to hose to tire interference will cause failure of one half of thebrake system resulting in a longer stopping distance than expected.
Correction:
Replace abs low pressure hose; rebuild master brake cylinder; inspect, service interference problems, and replace front brake hose as necessary.
Notes:
System: hydraulic fluid contamination; anti-lock brake system (abs).vehicle description: multi-purpose vehicles equipped with anti-lock brakesystem.
Campaign:
91V063000 on 04/24/1991
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
Manufactured:
02/28/1990 - 02/28/1991
Affected:
17,000
Defect:
Improper insertion/crimping of the hose-to-end fittings of the high pressure hose on the anti-lock brake system can cause detachment of the hose from the abs system, and discharge of hydraulic fluid.
Consequence:
Detachment of the hose from the abs system causes theloss of the abs function and hydraulic brake assist, leaving only manual brakesand decreasing stopping ability, which could result in an accident. discharge ofhydraulic fluid in the area of the hot exhaust system could result in an enginecompartment fire.
Correction:
Replace the abs high pressure hose.
Notes:
System: anti-lock brake system; abs high pressure hose attachment to end unit.vehicle description: multipurpose passenger vehicle.
Campaign:
96V260000 on 01/12/1997
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:antilock
Manufactured:
06/30/1988 - 06/29/1991
Affected:
52,000
Defect:
Vehicle description: vehicles equipped with antilock brake system (abs). the antilock brake system (abs) hydraulic control unit can experience excessive brake actuator piston seal wear which could cause pump-motor deterioration.
Consequence:
If this occurs, the abs function would be lose and reduced power assist would be experienced during vehicle braking. the instrument panel warning lights will signal system impairment and the base manual brakes will remain functional.
Correction:
Dealers will test the vehicle's abs and repair as necessary. the warranty on all abs components will be extended to 10 years or 100,000 miles (except for the brake actuator piston assembly and the pump-motor assembly which will have a lifetime coverage). owners will be reimbursed for previous abs component repair costs.
Notes:
Owner notification began april 24, 1997. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
Campaign:
97I002000 on 05/07/1997
Component:
Vehicle speed control:accelerator pedal
Manufactured:
07/31/1983 - 07/30/1995
Affected:
1,010,400
Defect:
Vehicle description: multipurpose passenger vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. this is not a safety recall in accordance with federal regulation 573. however, it is deemed a safety improvement campaign by the agency. drivers can mistakenly step on the accelerator pedal when they intend to step on the brake pedal.
Consequence:
Pedal misapplication by a driver can cause unintended acceleration.
Correction:
Dealers will install a shift interlock on the automatic transmission of these vehicles.
Notes:
Note:chrysler has decided to conduct a safety improvement campaign to install a shift interlock on these vehicles.owners can contact chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
Campaign:
98V005000 on 01/21/1998
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:disc:rotor
Manufactured:
06/30/1989 - 07/30/1991
Affected:
293,369
Defect:
Vehicle description: passenger and multi-purpose vehicles originally sold or currently registered in the states of connecticut, illinois, indiana, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, or wisconsin, and the district of columbia. the front disc brake rotors can experience severe corrosion if operated for an extensive period in the "salt belt." if the rotors are not replaced, the corrosion can eventually compromise the structural integrity of the stamped steel center hub section of the rotor.
Consequence:
The reduced strength can allow the cast iron wear surface to separate from the hub, reducing the brake effectiveness of the vehicle.
Correction:
Dealers will replace these rotors with rotors that are coated with a corrosion protection.
Notes:
Owner notification began march 9, 1998.owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact chrysler at 1-800-992-1997.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
