DEFECT #1 - SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
Posted on: 1991-11-06
Description
The anti-lock brake system high pressure hose may leak or detach at its crimped end fitting resulting in the discharge of hydraulic fluid.
Consequence
Fluid discharge eventually causes the loss of both theanti-lock brake system and hydraulic assist for the brake system, resulting inincreased likelihood of brake lockup and increased stopping distances, whichcould result in a vehicle accident.
Corrective Action
Replace the abs high pressure hose with a hose of different design and construction.
Notes
System: brakes.vehicle description: passenger cars and vans with anti-lock brake systems (abs).
DEFECT #2 - AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
Posted on: 1990-04-30
Description
Air bag inflator modules may not contain diffuser holes between the ignitor and propellant chambers.
Consequence
Air bags would not deploy in an impact situation, which could lead to driver injury.
Corrective Action
Replace air bag inflator modules with properly machined modules.
Notes
System: air bag inflator modules.vehicle description: passenger cars with grey interior.
DEFECT #3 - VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:BLOWER
Posted on: 1991-04-11
Description
Water leaking under windshield cowl in area above heater blower motor resistor block results in corrosion of the resistor terminals.
Consequence
Corrosion of the resistor terminals increases electricalresistance, leading to overheating and possble ignition of the wiring connectorsand insulation, causing a fire in the cowl area.
Corrective Action
The blower motor resistor block will be replaced, and a mastic patch applied to seal the cowl against water entry. Damaged wire connectors will be replaced.
Notes
System: heater blower motor resistor block.vehicle description: passenger cars without automatic temperature controlsystem.
DEFECT #4 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
Posted on: 1990-01-04
Description
The engine valve cover gasket may dislocate and allow an engine oil leak at the gasket.
Consequence
The leakage of oil in the engine compartment could causea fire.
Corrective Action
Replace gasket cover with revised cover, and rtv sealant will be applied in place of a gasket.
Notes
System: engine valve cover gasket.vehicle description: passenger cars, light trucks, and minivans.
DEFECT #5 - SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK
Posted on: 1996-06-18
Description
The abs hydraulic control unit can experience excessive brake actuator piston seal wear causing pump-motor deterioration.
Consequence
If this condition occurs, the abs function could be lost and reduced power assist would be experienced during vehicle braking increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
Corrective Action
Dealers will test the vehicle's anti-lock brake system and repair the vehicles if necessary. Also the warranty on all abs components will be extended to 10 years or 100,000 miles (except for the brake actuator piston assembly and the pump-motor assembly which will have a lifetime coverage). Owners will also be reimbursed for previous abs component repair costs.
Notes
System: brakes; hydraulic; anti-skid system. Vehicle description: passenger vehicles and mini-vans equipped with anti-lock brake systems (abs). 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.
