    Vehicles may not meet the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 301, "fuel system integrity". In an impact test from the rear, the bumper support structure deformed enough to allow contact of a support bracket with the fuel tank.

    NHTSA 79V176000 Reported 68,000 vehicles potentially affected CHRYSLER CORPORATION

    Condensate water may accumulate in the air conditioning blower housing; there is a high probability that this water will cause the blower motor to fail. Blower motor failure would disable the air condtioning unit and there would be no way to defrost or defog the windshield.
