THE COATING USED TO PROTECT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SHAFT IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE BRONZE BUSHING THROUGH WHICH THE SHAFT PASSES. OVER TIME, AND IN THE PRESENCE OF A CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENT (WATER, ROAD SALT), THE SHAFT CAN CORRODE INSIDE THE BUSHING INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF FRICTION BETWEEN THE ROTATING SHAFT AND THE STATIONARY BUSHING. Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A REVISED ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND SHAFT ASSEMBLY.
THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH WHICH CONTROLS THE POWER TO THE ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP CAN FAIL. FAILURE IS DUE TO A MISSING RUBBER SEAL BETWEEN THE SWITCH AND THE WIRING HARNESS. THE MISSING SEAL ALLOWS CONTAMINANTS TO ENTER THE SWITCH CAUSING IT TO FAIL IN THE OPEN OR CLOSED POSITION. Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLES FOR THE PRESENCE OF THE SEAL. IF THE SEAL IS MISSING, THE SWITCH WILL BE REPLACED AND A NEW SEAL WILL BE INSTALLED.
THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT IS SEPARATED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BY AN INSULATED ENGINE COVER. THE INSULATION INSIDE THIS COVER CAN RUB AGAINST THE FUEL RETURN HOSE RESULTING IN A FUEL LEAK. ADDITIONALLY, A WIRING HARNESS CAN ALSO WEAR THROUGH CAUSING INTERRUPTION TO SOME ELECTRICAL OPERATIONS, INCLUDING THE FUEL PUMP. Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE RUBBER FUEL LINE HOSE WITH A SOLID STEEL LINES AND ROUTE THE LINE TO PROVIDE ONE INCH OF CLEARANCE TO THE COVER. ALSO, THE WIRING HARNESS COVER WILL BE REPLACED AND THE WIRING REROUTED TO GAIN SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE.

THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SHAFT CAN CORRODE INSIDE THE BUSHING THROUGH WHICH IT PASSES THEREBY INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF FRICTION BETWEEN THE ROTATING SHAFT AND THE STATIONARY BUSHING. THIS CAN CAUSE THE THROTTLE TO BIND AND NOT FULLY RETURN TO IDLE WHEN THE OPERATOR'S FOOT IS REMOVED FROM THE ACCELERATOR INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A REVISED ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND SHAFT ASSEMBLY.
On certain vehicles, the oil pressure switch which controls the power to the electrical pump can fail due to a missing rubber seal between the switch and the wiring harness. The missing seal allows contaminants to enter the switch causing it to fail in the open or closed position. If the switch fails in the closed position, the pump will continue to run when the engine is off, draining the battery. If the switch fails in the open position it will cause poor performance and possible stalling. Correction: Dealers will inspect vehicles for the presence of the seal. If the seal is missing, the switch will be replaced and a new seal will will be installed.
On certain vehicles, the insulation inside the passenger compartment engine cover can rub against the fuel return hose resulting in a fuel leak. Additionally, a wiring harness can also wear through causing interruption to some electrical components, including the fuel pump. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in a fire. Failure of the fuel pump can cause poor performance and possible stalling creating a road hazard which can result in an accident. Correction: Rubber fuel line hose will be replaced with a solid steel line and line will be rerouted. Wiring harness cover will be replaced and the wiring rerouted to provide sufficient clearance.
