Recall History (12 recalls)

83V094000Sep 1983

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS

FUEL SUPPLY TUBES INSTALLED IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES ARE TOO SHORT. CONSEQUENTLY, FLEXIBLE HOSES THAT ATTACH TO THE TUBES MAY BE TAUT AND THIS WOULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE DURABILITY OF HOSE CONNECTIONS. IN THE EVENT OF HOSE SEPARATION, SOME FUEL SPILLAGE WOULD OCCUR.

84V014000Mar 1984

WHEELS

SOME VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED WHEELS. THE WELDS SECURING THE CENTER SECTIONS TO THE RIMS MAY CRACK FROM FATIGUE.

84V034000May 1984

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:MOUNTING

ATTACHING BOLTS ON FUEL TANK SUPPORTS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ADEQUATELY TIGHTENED; ALSO, THE SUPPORTS ARE TOO THIN. HIGH LEVELS OF STRESS, WHICH COULD OCCUR UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS, COULD CAUSE CRACKS TO DEVELOP IN THE SUPPORT STRAPS. IF THE FUEL TANK SUPPORTS FRACTURE, THE FUEL TANK WILL SLIP FROM THE NORMAL POSITION, AND FUEL LEAKAGE COULD RESULT.

84V119000Dec 1984

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:CARBURETOR SYSTEM

THE SECONDARY THROTTLE SHAFT MAY, WITH ACCUMULATED MILEAGE, BECOME CONTAMINATED AND MAY STICK IN A PARTIALLY OPEN POSITION WHILE DRIVING.

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL

WHEN FRONTALLY IMPACTED INTO A FIXED BARRIER AT 30 MPH, AS SPECIFIED IN FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) NO. 301, THE LEFT FRAME RAILS OF SUCH VEHICLES MAY DISPLACE INBOARD, PINCHING THE FUEL/WATER SEPARATOR CANISTER BETWEEN THE FRAME RAIL AND ENGINE SUFFICIENTLY TO DISPLACE THE FUEL/WATER SEPARATOR DRAIN ROD, ALLOWING THE CONTENTS OF THE CANISTER TO DRAIN. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: FUEL LEAK DURING OR AFTER A CRASH INCREASES THE POSSIBILITY OF A FIRE.
