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.

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.
