    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.

    Model years: 1985, 1986, 1987

  3. 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

  4. Accelerator pedal (vehicle speed control)

    NHTSA 83V035000 Reported 339 vehicles potentially affected CHRYSLER CORPORATION

    Throttle may not return to idle because of interference between the accelerator pedal and the floor carpet. The accelerator pedal rod extends below the base of the foot pad and contacts the floor carpeting when pedal is pushed all the way down.

    Remedy: The dealer will remove excess rod material extending below the foot pad and any sharp rod end edges will be smoothed.

    Model years: 1983
