1991 EAGLE PREMIER Recalls (7)
- Campaign:
- 91V027000 on 02/24/1991
- Component:
- Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
- Manufactured:
- 07/31/1988 - 11/30/1990
- Affected:
- 76,000
- Defect:
- 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.
- Consequence:
- Loss of fluid from half of the diagonally split brakehydraulic system affects braking capability, which could result in an accident.
- Correction:
- Modify heat shield to eliminate potential for shield contacting brake tube.
- Notes:
- System: rear brake tube.vehicle description: passenger cars.
- Campaign:
- 91V042000 on 03/14/1991
- Component:
- Electrical system:battery
- Manufactured:
- 09/30/1990 - 01/31/1991
- Affected:
- 5,500
- Defect:
- Routing of battery main feed wiring may allow it to contact the air cleaner bracket and contnued contact may lead to an electrical short circuit.
- Consequence:
- The electrical short caused by continuous contact couldresult in the ignition of the wiring insulation, and an underhood fire.
- Correction:
- The main feed on all involved vehicles will be rerouted and secured with tie straps away from the air cleaner bracket.
- Notes:
- System: battery feed wiring.vehicle description: passenger cars.
- Campaign:
- 91V191000 on 11/05/1991
- Component:
- Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
- Manufactured:
- 02/28/1990 - 06/30/1991
- Affected:
- 80,000
- Defect:
- The anti-lock brake system high pressure hose may leak or detach at its crimped end fitting resulting in the discharge of hydraulic fluid.
- Consequence:
- Fluid discharge eventually causes the loss of both theanti-lock brake system and hydraulic assist for the brake system, resulting inincreased likelihood of brake lockup and increased stopping distances, whichcould result in a vehicle accident.
- Correction:
- Replace the abs high pressure hose with a hose of different design and construction.
- Notes:
- System: brakes.vehicle description: passenger cars and vans with anti-lock brake systems (abs).
- Campaign:
- 94V006000 on 01/13/1994
- Component:
- Visibility:defroster/defogger system:windshield:heater core
- Manufactured:
- 06/30/1987 - 05/31/1992
- Affected:
- 125,000
- Defect:
- 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.
- Consequence:
- 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.
- Correction:
- A coolant temperature controlled heater core fluid bypass valve will be installed.
- Notes:
- System: heater; water; defroster; heater core.vehicle description: passenger vehicles.note: if your vehicle is presented to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and the remedy is not provided within a reasonable timeand free of charge, or the remedy does not correct the defect or noncompliance, please contact chrysler service center at 1-800-992-1997. also, contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
- Campaign:
- 95V213000 on 11/08/1995
- Component:
- Seat belts:front:anchorage
- Manufactured:
- 04/30/1988 - 11/30/1991
- Affected:
- 90,000
- Defect:
- The automatic shoulder belt systems can malfunction and become inoperative.
- Consequence:
- The lack of passive restraints could increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a vehicle collision.
- Correction:
- 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.
- Notes:
- System: interior; active seat and shoulder belts and belt anchors.vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with automatic shoulder safety belts.note: 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:
- 96V099000 on 06/17/1996
- Component:
- Service brakes, hydraulic:antilock
- Manufactured:
- 06/30/1990 - 05/31/1993
- Affected:
- 321,000
- Defect:
- The abs hydraulic control unit can experience excessive brake actuator piston seal wear causing pump-motor deterioration.
- Consequence:
- If this condition occurs, the abs function could be lost and reduced power assist would be experienced during vehicle braking increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
- Correction:
- Dealers will test the vehicle's anti-lock brake system and repair the vehicles if necessary. also 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 also be reimbursed for previous abs component repair costs.
- Notes:
- System: brakes; hydraulic; anti-skid system. vehicle description: passenger vehicles and mini-vans equipped with anti-lock brake systems (abs). note: 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:
- 98V005000 on 01/21/1998
- Component:
- Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:disc:rotor
- Manufactured:
- 06/30/1988 - 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).
