Component:
Power train:transfer case (4-wheel drive)
Manufactured:
10/31/1992 - 11/30/1992
Affected:
1,389
Defect:
The transfer cases have been built with the wrong electric shift motor. the transfer cases can slip out of the 4 x 4 high gear position during coasting in forward gears or with power applied in reverse gear.
Consequence:
If this occurs, the vehicle can roll freely as if inneutral position regardless of the transmission gear selector position. this canresult in loss of vehicle control and an accident.
Correction:
Replace defective transfer cases with the correct version.
Notes:

Affected:
370,000
Defect:
The u-clip style nuts that retain the front bumpers to the front bumper inner arms can fracture.
Consequence:
If one of the u-clip nuts fractures, the bumper will loosen and rattle causing fracture of the remaining u-clip nuts, resulting in separation of the bumper from the vehicle. if the bumper were to detach from the vehicle while it is being driven, a vehicle collision could result.
Correction:
Inspection and replacement of the four u-clip nuts and the associated bolts.

Affected:
835,791
Defect:
The parking brake control self-adjust pawl does not line up properly with the self-adjust rachet causing the pawl to slip over one or more teeth in the rachet.

Correction:
A wedge will be installed which will serve to lock the parking brake self-adjust mechanism pawl into engagement with the rachet. also, owners will be advised to release and reapply the parking brake whenever tooth skip occurs and will be reminded to always turn off the engine and leave the vehicle in gear when the vehicle is parked.
