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 - 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 #3 - SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:CALIPER
Posted on: 1990-09-14
Description
Front disc brake caliper guide pin bolts may not have been adequately torqued and could loosen.
Consequence
This could cause reduced braking effectiveness and couldresult in an accident.
Corrective Action
Properly torque front brake caliper guide pin bolts to 250 pounds.
Notes
System: front disc brake calipe guide, pin bolts.vehicle description: passenger cars.
DEFECT #4 - SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
Posted on: 1991-07-18
Description
Front outboard safety belt may become difficult to latch and or unlatch due to a webbing stiffener entering the buckle housing and dislodging the buckle latch guide.
Consequence
Latch may open during accident or sudden stop, exposingseat occupant to increased risk of injury.
Corrective Action
Replace buckle latch engagement.
Notes
System: safety belt.vehicle description: passenger vehicle.
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.
