THE VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLED WITH AN INCORRECT SUSPENSION UPPER SPRING SEAT AT THE RIGHT-REAR POSITION. IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A REAR IMPACT ACCIDENT, THE RIGHT-HAND REAR WHEEL HOUSE FLANGE COULD SEVER THE FUEL TANK FILLER PIPE AND SPILL FUEL. Remedy: INSPECT AND REPLACE INCORRECT UPPER SPRING SEAT WITH THE CORRECT PART.
A MISADJUSTMENT OF THE PARK LOCK CABLE IN THE COLUMN SHIFT ASSEMBLY MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR THE STEERING COLUMN TO LOCK WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THE IGNITION SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION. Remedy: ADJUST THE PARK LOCK CABLE, AND REROUTE AND RESTRAIN THE BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR.
THE PASSENGER'S SIDE EASY-ENTRY SEAT ADJUSTER MAY FAIL FULLY LOCK INTO POSITION AFTER THE SEAT BACK HAS BEEN TILTED FORWARD AND THE SEAT SLID FORWARD, THEN RETURNED TO ITS ORIGINAL POSTITION. Remedy: REPLACE THE ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY ON THE SEAT.

ON VEHICLES WITH COLUMN SHIFT, IT MAY BE POSSIBLE FOR THE STEERING COLUMN TO LOCK WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND IN GEAR AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION TO THE OFF POSITION. THIS WOULD AFFECT THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN A POSSIBLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL ADJUST THE PARK LOCK CABLE AND RE-ROUTE AND RESTRAIN THE BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR.
NOTE: COUPE MODELS ONLY. THE PASSENGER SIDE "EASY-ENTRY" SEAT ADJUSTER MAY FAIL TO FULLY LOCK ONTO POSITION AFTER THE SEAT BACK HAS BEEN TILTED FORWARD AND THE SEAT SLID FORWARD AND THEN BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION TO ALLOW ENTRY TO OR EXIT FROM THE REAR SEAT AREA. IF THE SEAT IS NOT FULLY LOCKED IN POSITION, THE ENTIRE SEAT ASSEMBLY COULD SLIDE FORWARD IN THE EVENT OF A SUDDEN STOP OR COLLISION AND COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE SEAT OCCUPANT. CORRECTION: PASSENGER'S SIDE "EASY-ENTRY" SEAT ADJUSTER MECHANISM WILL BE REPLACED ON INVOLVED VEHICLES.
