DEFECT #1 - FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
Posted on: 1994-04-13
Description
Feed fuel hoses can harden and set over time, allowing a seepage of fuel at the connection between the hose and the engine fitting. The clamp used to hold the hose to the fitting is unable to compensate for the hardening of the feed fuel hose.
Consequence
Fuel seepage between the feed fuel hose and the engine fitting can result in free fuel in the engine compartment, which could result in a fire when exposed to a source of ignition.
Corrective Action
A redesigned feed fuel hose and hose clamp will be installed to alleviate the fuel seepage.

DEFECT #2 - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Posted on: 1992-12-21

Consequence
If the fusible link breaks, the total vehicle electricalsystem would be interrupted by the open circuit. All electrical systems wouldbe involved, and the engine would not start, or would stop, if running. Thiswould result in loss of power to the vehicle without prior warning, loss ofhazard warning lights, loss of lights at night and possibly a vehicle accident.
Corrective Action
Reroute the electrical cables in the engine compartment to reduce the current flow through the fusible link, and replace the old fusible link.
