VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS. THE CONNECTING ENDS OF THE FUEL FEED AND RETURN HOSES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CAN "SETTLE" OVER TIME WHICH COULD CAUSE THE FASTENING CLAMPS TO LOSE THEIR TIGHT FIT AND PERMIT FUEL TO SEEP OUT AT THE HOSE CONNECTION. Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL FEED AND RETURN HOSES.
THE HANDLE OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CONTAINS A TORSION SPRING WHICH IS DESIGNED TO ENSURE THAT THE LOCKING MECHANISM REMAINS FIRMLY ENGAGED UPON APPLICATION OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. SOME OF THESE SPRINGS MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED. Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A LONGER TENSION SPRING TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT TENSION.
THESE STEERING WHEELS AND INCLUDE A UNIVERSAL JOINT WHICH IS ATTACHED TO STEERING SHAFTS AND SECURED BY LOCKING BOLTS. THE UNIVERSAL JOINT'S UPPER LOCKING BOLT WAS NOT SUFFICIENTLY TORQUED DURING MANUFACTURE, AND CAN EVENTUALLY LOOSEN. Remedy: DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE PRESENT UNIVERSAL UPPER LOCKING BOLT, INSTALL A NEW ONE, AND TORQUE IT TO SPECIFICATIONS.
We checked Transport Canada's recall database for this make, model and year.

On certain vehicles, the connecting ends of the fuel feed and return hoses in the engine compartment could "settle" over time which could cause fastening clamps to loosen and permit fuel to seep out at the hose connection. Correction: Fuel feed and return hoses and fastening clamps will be replaced with hoses of different material and spring clamps.
THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HANDLE LOCKING MECHANISM TENSION SPRING MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED. AN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED SPRING POTENTIALLY LACKS SUFFICIENT TENSION AFTER THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS APPLIED AND COULD CAUSE THE BRAKE TO RELEASE. THIS COULD RESULT IN VEHICLE ROLL AWAY AND A POSSIBLE CRASH. CORRECTION: A LONGER TENSION SPRING WILL BE INSTALLED ON THE BRAKE HANDLE LOCKING MECHANISM OF AFFECTED VEHICLES.
THE STEERING SHAFT UNIVERSAL JOINT UPPER LOCKING BOLT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENTLY TORQUED. AN UNDER TORQUED LOCKING BOLT COULD EVENTUALLY LOOSEN AND RENDER THE STEERING SYSTEM INOPERATIVE. CORRECTION: THE STEERING SHAFT UNIVERSAL JOINT UPPER LOCKING BOLT WILL BE REPLACED AND PROPERLY TORQUED.
