THE FRONT SAFETY BELT BUCKLE RELEASE BUTTONS CAN BREAK. THESE RED PLASTIC RELEASE BUTTONS ARE MARKED "PRESS." IF A BUTTON BREAKS, PIECES CAN FALL INTO THE BUCKLE ASSEMBLY CAUSING THE BUCKLE TO OPERATE IMPROPERLY. Remedy: OWNERS SHOULD PROMPTLY CHECK THE CONDITION AND OPERATION OF BOTH FRONT SAFETY BELT BUCKLES AND CAREFULLY INSPECT THE RED RELEASE BUTTON FOR ANY BREAKS OR CRACKS. THEY SHOULD ENSURE THAT BOTH BUCKLES ARE OPERATING PROPERLY BY INSERTING EACH LATCH PLATE INTO ITS BUCKLE, TUGGING ON THE BELT TO MAKE SURE THE LATCH IS SECURELY LOCKED, AND THEN PRESSING THE RELEASE BUTTON. THE LATCH PLATE SHOULD POP OUT OF THE BUCKLE WHEN THE BUTTON IS PRESSED. IF EITHER RELEASE BUTTON SHOWS A SIGN OF BREAKING OR CRACKING OR IF EITHER BUCKLE FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY, OWNERS SHOULD PROMPTLY CONTACT THEIR AUTHORIZED DEALER TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE BUCKLE REPLACED OR REPAIRED, FREE OF CHARGE. THE MANUFACTURER IS DEVELOPING A REMEDY DESIGNED TO PREVENT FAILURE OF THE BUTTONS THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY BROKEN.
THE WELD ON THE RECEIVER UNIT OF THE TRAILER HITCH CAN BREAK. Remedy: REPLACE THE TRAILER HITCH.
THROTTLE BLADE ICING MAY OCCUR DURING EXTENDED HIGHWAY DRIVING AT TEMPERATURES BELOW 10 DEGREES F. Remedy: INSTALL ANCHOR PLATE UNDER BASE OF THROTTLE; HEATED ENGINE COOLANT WILL BE FLOWED THROUGH AN ADAPTER PLATE TO ELIMINATE ICE FORMATION ON THE THROTTLE BLADE.

On certain vehicles, the (takata) ABS plastic front seat belt release buttons may break allowing plastic pieces to fall into the buckle assembly. If this should happen, a no latch, false latch or failure to unlatch condition could occur creating the risk of personal injury in the event of a crash or sudden stop. Correction: Front seat belt buckles will be repaired or replaced as necessary.
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3 LITRE ENGINES MAY EXPERIENCE THROTTLE ICING DURING PERIODS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING AT TEMPERATURES BELOW -12 DEGREES CENTIGRADE. THIS COULD PREVENT THE THROTTLE BLADE FROM RETURNING TO THE IDLE POSITION AND COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT VEHICLE CONTROL. CORRECTION: A FLOW PASSAGE FOR HEATED ENGINE COOLANT WILL BE PROVIDED BY INSTALLING AN ADAPTER PLATE UNDER THE BASE OF THE THROTTLE BODY. THE ADDITIONAL HEAT IN THIS AREA WILL ELIMINATE THE POTENTIAL FOR ICE FORMATION ON THE THROTTLE BLADE.
