ON VEHICLES WITH POWER ADJUSTED BUCKET SEATS, THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME MAY FAIL AT ONE OF ITS FOUR ATTACHMENTS. THIS CAN RESULT IN FORE/AFT OR LATERAL MOVEMENT OF THE SEAT. THIS COULD CAUSE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND A POSSIBLE VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME WILL BE REPLACED WITH A STRENGTHENED VERSION. ALSO, THE POWER ADJUSTER CROSSMEMBER WILL BE REINFORCED.
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH POWER SEATS THAT HAVE HAD A SEAT CUSHION FRAME REPLACEMENT IN THE FIELD COULD EXPERIENCE CUSHION FRAME FAILURE RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT REARWARD MOVEMENT OF THE SEAT BACK. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND A POSSIBLE CRASH. CORRECTION: SEAT CUSHION FRAME WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF REQUIRED.
On certain vehicles with 2.2 Litre turbo-charged multi-port fuel injection engines, there is a possibility that fuel leakage may occur during low ambient temperature operation at the fuel hose used to interconnect the fuel pressure regulator and the injector rail. Fuel leakage would create the potential for an engine compartment fire. Correction: the pressure regulator will be relocated and the fuel supply hose will replaced with a formed hose having a revised routing configuration.
THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 1103 - EXHAUST EMISSIONS. PLUGGED CHOKE VACUUM DELAY VALVE. NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 2.2 LITRE CARBURETED ENGINES.
On certain vehicles, the brake booster vacuum hose port in the base of the carburetor could become blocked with frozen moisture after an extended period of highway driving at low ambient temperatures. This may result in intermittant loss of brake power assist on a second application of the brake pedal. Correction: the brake booster vacuum hose will be relocated to the intake manifold.
