Recall number 99V109000 · Recall details

Service brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip: control unit/moduleReported March 29, 1995 · 12,091 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Moisture can follow the electrical harness and enter the pressure switch connector causing corrosion and malfunction of the switch.
Risk
The corrosion causes a deterioration of the electricalswitch connection and can result in false illumination of ABS and/or the brake warning lights and/or the loss of power assistance because of no hydraulic pumpoperation. Loss of power assist increases the driver's brake pedal effort required for stopping which can result in extended braking distances.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the electrical connections to the ABS pressure switch terminals for corrosion and install a shrink hose to the wiring harness to avoid moisture entering the connection. Pressure switches with corroded connectors will be replaced.

What is wrong
During low energy frontal impact collisions, the front crossmember can contact the metal tubing portion of the cooler hose assembly; and/or the hose assembly can break and leak oil onto the hot exhaust manifold or the turbocharger.
Risk
Oil leaking on these hot engine surfaces can ignite and cause a vehicular fire.
Remedy
Dealers will install a protective cover which will protect the cooler and hoses from other structural components in low energy front impacts.

Recall number 94V126000 · Recall details

Exterior lighting: brake lightsReported May 2, 1994 · 59 vehicles affected
What is wrong
