THE END CAP CONNECTING THE HEAT EXCHANGER'S CORE TO THE ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM COULD RUPTURE AND ALLOW HOT COOLANT TO ESCAPE INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. Remedy: A COOLANT TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED HEATER CORE FLUID BYPASS VALVE WILL BE INSTALLED.
ROUTING OF THE FRONT BRAKE HOSE MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE HOSE FLEXING RESULTING IN PREMATURE FATIGUE CRACKING OF THE OUTER HOSE COVER. Remedy: REPLACE FRONT BRAKE HOSES WITH HOSES REDESIGNED TO PROVIDE A MODIFIED ROUTING CONFIGURATION.
THE AUTOMATIC SHOULDER BELT SYSTEMS CAN MALFUNCTION AND BECOME INOPERATIVE. Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SYSTEM TRACK AND DRIVE ASSEMBLY ON AUTOMATIC SHOULDER BELT SYSTEMS WHICH ARE CURRENTLY INOPERATIVE AND THOSE SYSTEMS WHEN THEY BECOME INOPERATIVE IN THE FUTURE.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS EXPERIENCED ENDURANCE FAILURES OF PARK MECHANISM COMPONENTS DURING SEVERE TESTING. Remedy: RETROFIT TRANSMISSION.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER AND MULTI-PURPOSE VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF CONNECTICUT, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, OR WISCONSIN, AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. THE FRONT DISC BRAKE ROTORS CAN EXPERIENCE SEVERE CORROSION IF OPERATED FOR AN EXTENSIVE PERIOD IN THE "SALT BELT." IF THE ROTORS ARE NOT REPLACED, THE CORROSION CAN EVENTUALLY COMPROMISE THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE STAMPED STEEL CENTER HUB SECTION OF THE ROTOR. Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THESE ROTORS WITH ROTORS THAT ARE COATED WITH A CORROSION PROTECTION.
MASTER CYLINDER MAY HAVE BEEN MISASSEMBLED CAUSING A BLOCKED HYDRAULIC FLUID OUTLET PORT AND RESTRICTED FLUID FLOW. Remedy: REPLACE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER.
COOLING SYSTEM PRESSURES DURING OVERHEATED ENGINE OPERATION MAY EXCEED THE STRENGTH CAPABILITY OF CERTAIN COMPONENTS DUE TO INADEQUATE VENTING CAPACITY OF THE SYSTEM PRESSURE CAP. Remedy: REPLACE ALL COOLANT SYSTEM PRESSURE CAPS WITH ONE HAVING ADEQUATE VENTING CAPACITY.

NOTE: VEHICLES ORIGINALLY RETAILED IN ONTARIO, QUEBEC AND THE MARITIME PROVINCES. THE COMPOSITE FRONT DISC BRAKE ROTORS ON THESE VEHICLES MAY FAIL DUE TO CORROSION. THE CAST IRON WEAR SURFACE MAY SEPARATE FROM THE HUB REDUCING THE BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS OF THE VEHICLE. CORRECTION: FRONT COMPOSITE ROTORS WILL BE REPLACED WITH ONES HAVING A REVISED CORROSION PROTECTION COATING.
On certain Eagle Oremier vehicles with 2.5 Litre engines and Renault Alliance GTA with 2.0 Litre engines, the oxygen sensor may fail, thereby causing the vehicle to exceed CMVSS 1103 - exhaust emissions. Correction: Oxygen sensor will be replaced.
NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3.0 LITRE ENGINES. THESE VEHICLES MAY NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S 1103 - EXHAUST EMISSIONS. CATALYSTS AND OXYGEN SENSORS MAY BE DEFECTIVE. CORRECTION: CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND OXYGEN SENSOR WILL BE REPLACED.
THE HEATER CORE END CAP MAY FAIL (SPLIT/TEAR) ALLOWING THE DISCHARGE OF COOLING SYSTEM STEAM INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WHICH MAY CAUSE REDUCED DRIVER VISIBILITY. CORRECTION: A COOLANT TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED FLUID BYPASS VALVE WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES. THIS VALVE WILL ISOLATE THE HEATER CORE DURING PERIODS OF HIGH COOLANT TEMPERATURE.
NOTE: JEEP VEHICLES WITH 4.0 LITRE ENGINES, RENAULT VEHICLES WITH 2.0 LITRE ENGINES AND EAGLE PREMIER VEHICLES WITH 2.5 AND 3 LITRE ENGINES. THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 1103 - EXHAUST EMISSIONS. FAULTY OXYGEN SENSOR COULD LEAD TO POOR FUEL/AIR CONTROL AND REDUCED CATALYST EFFICIENCY WHICH MAY INCREASE TAILPIPE EMISSIONS. CORRECTION: OXYGEN SENSOR WILL BE REPLACED WITH ONE OF AN IMPROVED DESIGN.

EXCESSIVE FLEXING AT THE FRONT BRAKE HOSE END FITTINGS COULD RESULT IN PREMATURE FATIGUE CRACKING OF THE OUTER RUBBER HOSE COVER. THIS COULD EVENTUALLY LEAD TO HOSE FAILURE AND A PARTIAL BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE DUE TO LOSS OF FLUID. CORRECTION: FRONT BRAKE HOSES WILL BE REPLACED WITH REDESIGNED HOSES THAT PROVIDE A MODIFIED ROUTING CONFIGURATION:
VEHICLES MAY BE EQUIPPED WITH A MISASSEMBLED MASTER CYLINDER WHICH COULD CAUSE PARTIAL LOSS OF THE DIAGONALLY SPLIT HYDRAULIC BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS COULD RESULT IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE AND A POSSIBLE VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED WHERE REQUIRED.
