1988 EAGLE PREMIER Recalls (7)

Campaign:
88V002000 on 02/07/1988
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:master cylinder
Manufactured:
09/30/1987 - 11/30/1987
Affected:
5,000
Defect:
Master cylinder may have been misassembled causing a blocked hydraulic fluid outlet port and restricted fluid flow.
Consequence:
This could result in increased brake pedal travel andpartial loss of braking capability.
Correction:
Replace master brake cylinder.
Notes:
System: brake master cylinder.vehicle description: passenger cars
Campaign:
88V087000 on 06/02/1988
Component:
Visibility:defroster/defogger system:windshield:heater core
Manufactured:
06/30/1984 - 05/31/1987
Affected:
240,000
Defect:
Cooling system pressures during overheated engine operation may exceed the strength capability of certain components due to inadequate venting capacity of the system pressure cap.
Consequence:
The buildup of pressure may cause heater core to ruptureand discharge hot coolant and steam in the proximity of the drivers legs.
Correction:
Replace all coolant system pressure caps with one having adequate venting capacity.
Notes:
System: cooling system/heater core.vehicle description: passenger cars.
Campaign:
88V128000 on 08/15/1988
Component:
Power train:automatic transmission
Manufactured:
05/31/1988 - 05/31/1988
Affected:
95
Defect:
Automatic transmissions experienced endurance failures of park mechanism components during severe testing.
Consequence:
Vehicles would be subject to transmission failures.
Correction:
Retrofit transmission.
Notes:
System: automatic transmission.vehicle description: passenger cars equipped with 4 cylinder engine.
Campaign:
90V205000 on 12/27/1990
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
Manufactured:
10/31/1987 - 04/30/1990
Affected:
97,500
Defect:
Routing of the front brake hose may cause excessive hose flexing resulting in premature fatigue cracking of the outer hose cover.
Consequence:
This could lead to hose failure and loss of brake fluidreducing braking effectiveness.
Correction:
Replace front brake hoses with hoses redesigned to provide a modified routing configuration.
Notes:
System: front brake hose.vehicle description: passenger cars.
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:
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).
