Posted on: 1988-09-09
Description
Wiring for the power lumbar seat system was routed directly beneath the seat cushion springs and may be abraded by the springs.

Consequence

Posted on: 1987-09-09
Description
Spring lock fuel line coupling may not be properly engaged.

Consequence
Coupling could disengage due to fuel pressure,vibration, and engine movements; this would cause loss of fuel which, inpresence of an ignition source, creates a fire risk.

Corrective Action
Install retainer clips over the couplings to prevent coupling separation and fuel leakage.

DEFECT #3 - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD

Posted on: 1985-09-30
Description
The electronic engine control wiring harness insulation may be damaged due to copper spikes produced during the welding of its wires.  This creates a potential for a short circuit between the wires which energize the fuel pump, causing some fuel injectors to open, discharging fuel into the engine.  Consequence of defect: fuel discharged into the engine would eventually leak through the exhaust system to the ground.  This could result in a fire if a source of ignition is present.

Consequence


Corrective Action
Repair wiring harness, check engine and catalyst for damage.

Notes
Vehicle description: light trucks equipped with 2.9 liter engine.  System: electronic engine control wiring harness.

DEFECT #4 - FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS

Posted on: 1985-11-04
Description
Nylon fuel lines on the fuel return side of the fuel pressure regulator assembly may crack.  Consequence of defect: fuel line could leak and, if an ignition source is present, create the potential for a fire.

Consequence


Corrective Action
Replace nylon fuel hoses with rubber hoses.
