Every NHTSA safety campaign that lists a Austin Healey Marina, most recent first, with the model years each one covers.

1. Tank assembly (fuel system)

   NHTSA 79V146000 Reported June 12, 1979 23,000 vehicles potentially affected JAGUAR CARS

   The possibility exists that, due to outside influences such as salt on the roads, the fuel tank may develop areas of corrosion which could eventually result in fuel leakage.

   Remedy: Dealer will inspect for corrosion and, if necessary, replace the fuel tank at no cost to owner.

   Model years: 1973, 1974, 1975

2. Suspension: lower ball joint

   NHTSA 78V258000 Reported December 1, 1978 22,714 vehicles potentially affected JAGUAR CARS

   Ball joints installed on the involved vehicles as replacement parts may have been incorrectly heat-treated during manufacture. These replacement ball joints may break without prior warning, causing the suspension to collapse.

   Remedy: Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the suspect ball joints at no cost to owner.

   Model years: 1973, 1974, 1975

3. Cables (vehicle speed control)

   NHTSA 78V125000 Reported June 6, 1978 10,330 vehicles potentially affected JAGUAR CARS

   The accelerator cable could break due to the carburetor trunnion pin restricting the movement of the cable end. Should the accelerator stick in the open position or break, control over vehicle speed will be lost.

   Remedy: The dealer will install a new trunnion pin and the accelerator linkage will be checked on all involved vehicles.

   Model years: 1973, 1974

4. Mounting (fuel system)

   NHTSA 78V016000 Reported January 20, 1978 20,661 vehicles potentially affected JAGUAR CARS

   The fuel tank vent hose could crack and allow fumes to enter the trunk area, especially while filling the fuel tank. These fumes could permeate the trunk area and enter the passenger compartment.

   Remedy: Dealer will replace fuel pumps on all affected vehicles without charge to owners.

   Model years: 1973, 1974
