DEFECT #1 - FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
Posted on: 1990-09-26
Description
Excessive fuel vapor pressure can occur that, after prolonged cycling, could weaken the fuel tank structure.
Consequence
This can cause fuel tank leaks which, in the presence ofan ignition source, could result in a vehicle fire.
Corrective Action
Install a revised fuel purge system which eliminates excessive vapor pressure build-up.
Notes
System: fuel tank - fuel purge system.vehicle description: passenger cars; 2 door coupe, cabriolet, convertible.
DEFECT #2 - VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Posted on: 1990-02-28
Description
Electronically controlled valves in the cruise control actuator may not function properly due to dirt entering the valves.
Consequence
Cruise control would not disengage under normal operatingconditions which could result in loss of control and an accident.
Corrective Action
Replace cruise control actuator and install additional vacuum dump valve.
Notes
System: cruise control.vehicle description: passenger cars.
DEFECT #3 - FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
Posted on: 1981-10-30
Description
Certain vehicles could be subject to a fuel leakage in the engine compartment due to the possibility of deterioration in the integrity of the high pressure fuel hose connections.
Consequence
Corrective Action
All affected hoses and attachment clips will be replaced at no charge to owner.
Notes
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles.system: fuel systems; fuel hoses.consequences of defect: as these fuel hoses are pressurized, a reduction in theeffective clamping load of the attachment clips could allow fuel leakage,possibly leading to a vehicle fire and injury to vehicle occupants withoutwarning.note: the owner is advised to inspect the engine compartment, with the enginerunning, for evidence of fuel leakage or fuel odor.
DEFECT #4 - FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
Posted on: 1985-07-24
Description
Possible fuel leakage from the engine fuel injection system, particularly in the area of the hose/clip fittings. Consequence of defect: the presence of an ignition source, with fuel leakage, could result in an engine compartment fire or the destruction of ignition distributor cap.
Consequence
Corrective Action
A new fuel delivery system designed to eliminate fuel hose clips will be installed.
Notes
Vehicle description: passenger cars.system: fuel injector.
DEFECT #5 - FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
Posted on: 1984-01-11
Description
Fuel leakage may develop at the two main fuel rail connections. Deterioration at these two connections has been traced to a combination of misalignment of the two rail halves and the effect of temperature changes.
Consequence
Corrective Action
Dealer will replace the current two piece fuel rail with a new part kit of single piece design.
Notes
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles.system: fuel; fuel injection distribution plumbing.consequences of defect: leaking fuel could lead to a vehicle fire and personalinjury.note: owners are advised to promptly check the engine compartment for evidenceof fuel leakage. If any fuel is found on or around the top of the engine whilethe engine is cold and the ignition switch is on, the vehicle should not beoperated.
DEFECT #6 - FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
Posted on: 1982-04-05
Description
Certain vehicles may be fitted with an unauthorized fuel pump electrical inertia switch. This switch has a tin coating added to the contacts that create the potential for a high electrical resistance. This could cause overheating and possible distortion of the plastic mounting around the fixed contact. This could result in inability to start the vehicle since there is a flow of current to the fuel pump.
Consequence
Corrective Action
Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the inertia switch at no cost to owner.
Notes
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles.system: fuel; electrical inertia switch.consequences of defect: an inability to restart the engine may cause a traffichazard and the potential for an accident.
