Fuel system, gasoline: delivery: hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
- What is wrong
- Feed fuel hoses can harden and "set" over time, allowing a seepage of fuel at the connection between the hose and the engine fitting. The clamp used to hold the hose to the fitting is unable to compensate for the hardening of the feed fuel hose.
- Risk
- Fuel seepage between the feed fuel hose and the engine fitting can result in free fuel in the engine compartment, which could result in a fire when exposed to a source of ignition.
- Remedy
- A redesigned feed fuel hose and hose clamp will be installed to alleviate the fuel seepage.
Recall number 94V066000 · Recall details
Vehicle speed control
- What is wrong
- Insufficient axial clearance exists for throttle valve, shaft, and housing due to the different thermal expansion rates of the separate parts when vehicle reaches normal operating temperatures and ambient temperature is 40 degrees fahrenheit or less.
- Risk
- The limited axial clearance can cause the movement of thethrottle valve to be impeded, the valve is unable to close. This impedance wouldkeep the vehicle from decelerating at the usual rate after the gas pedal isreleased; this could cause unexpected maintenance of speed and an accident.
- Remedy
- Inspect and repair the vehicle by replacing throttle housing if insufficient axial clearance is found.
