Remedy: Install attachment reinforcement brackets to prevent control arm detachment as a result of corrosion weakening.
Model years: 1983
-
Seats
Drivers seat frame may experience fatigue failure at one (front/outboard) of its four attachments.
Remedy: Replace drivers seat frame with a strenghtened version; also, reinforce power adjuster front crossmember to increase rigidity of seat attachment system.
Model years: 1985
-
Fuel system, gasoline
Fuel leakage may occur in low ambient temperature operation at connections of an engine compartment fuel supply hose to the pressure regulator and to the fuel rail.
Remedy: Relocate pressure regulator; replace fuel supply with formed hose with revised routing configuration to ensure sealing integrity.
-
Power adjust (seats)
A service replacement drivers seat cushion (manual seat type) may contain wrong cushion with a brace that could interfere with power seat adjuster mechanism and cause stress on the frame.
Remedy: Replace frame with proper power seat frame.
-
Interior/under dash (electrical system)
A resistor in the electronic panel cluster may be subjected to an electrical current overload due to failure of a switching transistor. Consequence of defect: the overheated resistor could ignite and start an instrument panel fire.
Remedy: Modify instrument panel cluster by replacing the resistor with a fused resistor that will not ignite if overloaded.
Model years: 1986
-
Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings (fuel system)
An engine compartment fuel hose routed to the fuel system pressure regulator may have an inadequately tightened hose clamp. Consequence of defect: the fuel hose could leak and result in an engine compartment fire.
Remedy: Reposition and tighten to the proper torque level of the fuel hose clamp.
Model years: 1985
-
Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings (fuel system)
The potential for fuel leakage exists in the engine compartment at the fuel reservoir seam and its hose connections. The fuel reservoir is a silver colored can mounted to the air cleaner.
Remedy: The hoses and the metal tube that attaches to the fuel reservoir will be replaced with new components. The dealer will also replace or reseal the reservoir.
Model years: 1984
-
Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings (service brakes)
Location of hydraulic brake tube to both rear wheels causes interference and chafing between the tubes and rear suspension trailing arm pivot brackets.
Remedy: Dealer will inspect rear wheel brake tubes and reroute to ensure proper tube to pivot bracket clearance. Any damaged tubes will also be replaced.
Model years: 1983
-
Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings (service brakes)
Hydraulic brake tubing routed to the left rear wheel brake system may have been bent out of shape during assembly and could chafe against the exhaust system hanger bolt.
Remedy: Dealer will inspect and relocate tube, if necessary. A retaining clip will be installed to ensure adequate clearance for the tubing; any damaged tubes will also be replaced.
Model years: 1983
-
Electrical (equipment)
The travel computer system wiring, on the involved vehicles, may be improperly connected. This condition can cause damage to internal components.
Remedy: The wiring will be reconnected to ensure proper functioning of ignition system..
Model years: 1983
-
Filler pipe and cap (fuel system)
The involved vehicles may be equipped with an electrical fuel filler door release which is activated through a coiled current carrying wire (a solenoid). A short in the solenoid could cause sparking at the attaching screws of the solenoid.
Remedy: A solenoid ground wire will be installed, by the dealer, to prevent sparking of solenoid.
Model years: 1983
