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.
THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH A POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE BATTERY. THE GAS VENTS ON THESE BATTERIES MAY BE PARTIALLY OR COMPLETELY BLOCKED BY PLASTIC FLASHING WHICH COULD CAUSE A BUILD UP OF INTERNAL GAS PRESSURE AND POSSIBLY RESULT IN RUPTURE OF THE BATTERY CASE. THIS COULD BE HAZARDOUS TO PERSONS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE BATTERY OR UNDER THE VEHICLE WHILE SERVICING. FOUR DOOR ARIES AND RELIANT MODELS ONLY.
