VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINIVANS. THE FUEL TANK VENT HOSE ALLOWS AIR TO VENT FROM THE FUEL TANK DURING REFUELING. CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE VENT HOSE. IF (1) THE FUEL TANK IS OVERFILLED, NOT ALLOWING EXCESS FUEL IN THE VENT HOSE TO FLOW BACK INTO THE TANK, (2) THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN ONLY A SHORT DISTANCE AFTER REFUELING AND, (3) THERE IS SUBSEQUENTLY SIGNIFICANT HEATING OF THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL IN THE TANK CAN EXPAND INTO THE VENT HOSE AND LEAK FUEL. Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE VENT HOSE.
LEAVES AND OTHER FOREIGN MATERIAL CAN ENTER THROUGH THE COWL PANEL AIR INTAKE DURING OPERATION OF THE FRONT HEATER AND/OR AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM RESULTING IN A BUILD-UP OF MATERIAL IN THE PLENUM. THIS CAN LEAD TO NOISE, ODORS, OR IN SOME CASES, IGNITION OF THESE MATERIALS. Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL HEATER/AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM INTAKE SCREEN.
THE SERVICE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WAS NOT PROPERLY ASSEMBLED OR COULD HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY THE EVACUATION AND FILLING OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM AT THE ASSEMBLY PLANT. Remedy: A NEW BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WILL BE INSTALLED.
ONE OR BOTH OF THE BOLTS SECURING THE AUTOMATIC SEAT BELT RESTRAINT SYSTEM TRACKS TO THE B-PILLARS WERE NOT ADEQUATELY TIGHTENED. Remedy: DEALERS WILL TIGHTEN THE PASSIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEM TRACK MOUNTING BOLTS.
FUEL FILLER HOSES MAY HAVE BEEN CUT PRIOR TO INSTALLATION BY A UTILITY KNIFE USED TO OPEN THE SHIPPING BOX. Remedy: REPLACE THE FUEL FILLER HOSE.

On certain vehicles, cracks could develop in the fuel vent hose. If (1) the fuel tank is overfilled, not allowing excess fuel in the vent hose to flow back into the tank, (2) the vehicle is driven only a short distance after refueling and, (3) there is subsequently significant heating of the fuel tank, the fuel in the tank can expand into the vent hose and leak fuel. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire. Correction: Fuel tank vent hose will be replaced.
THE COWL SCREEN FOR THE HEATER/AIR CONDITIONER BLOWER HOUSING MAY NOT PREVENT, IN SOME CASES, THE ENTRY OF SMALL LEAVES AND FOREIGN MATERIAL INTO THE BLOWER HOUSING. IF THIS MATERIAL ENTERS THE BLOWER HOUSING AND ACCUMULATES AT THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR, IT MAY BE IGNITED AND COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE FIRE. CORRECTION: A SECONDARY AIR INLET SCREEN WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES. ANY DEBRIS PRESENT IN THE BLOWER ASSEMBLY WILL BE REMOVED.
THE WALL OF THE FILLER HOSE, WHICH CONNECTS THE FUEL TANK TO A METAL TUBE, MAY HAVE BEEN CUT THROUGH DURING ASSEMBLY. THIS COULD RESULT IN FUEL LEAKAGE AND THE RISK OF A FIRE. CORRECTION: FUEL FILLER HOSE WILL BE REPLACED.
ONE OR MORE OF THE BOLTS SECURING THE AUTOMATIC SHOULDER BELT RESTRAINT SYSTEM TRACKS TO THE B-PILLARS MAY NOT BE ADEQUATELY TIGHTENED. THIS MAY RESULT IN THE JOINTS HAVING LESS THAN THE DESIGNED STRENGTH THEREBY INCREASING THE RISK OF REDUCED SEAT BELT EFFECTIVENESS IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. CORRECTION: PASSIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEM TRACK MOUNTING BOLTS WILL BE TIGHTENED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.

VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE PARTIAL BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE DUE TO INTERNAL SERVICE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKAGE WHICH CAUSES LOSS OF BRAKING ON TWO OF THE FOUR WHEELS OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WOULD RESULT IN INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL, HIGHER PEDAL EFFORTS AND INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND SERVICE BRAKE CYLINDER WILL BE REPLACED IF NECESSARY.
