On certain crew cab pick ups, the front inner corner of the fuel tank may contact the body sill and over time wear a hole in or crack the fuel tank at the point of contact. This condition could result in fuel leakage and in the presence of an ignition source, a fire could occur. Correction: Tank will be inspected for wear and a spacer will be installed between the fuel tank and the front crossmember, or if necessary, the fuel tank will be replaced.
Certain vehicles do not comply with CMVSS 1103 - Exhaust Emissions. Vehicles may been built with the ignition coil wire too close to metal brackets or the transmission fluid fill tube (M/L van only). If the coil wire is too close to these metal objects, arcing may occur and cause failure of the wires which can in turn lead to a stalling/no start condition and/or catalytic converter failures. Correction: coil wire will be repositioned to assure adequate clearance from metal brackets and/or transmission fluid fill tubes.
Certain vehicles may not comply with CMVSS 207 - Seat Anchorages. Vehicles may have been shipped with one or two front seat mounting bolts not installed. In a vehicle crash, a seat with this condition will not protect the occupant as required by the standard. Correction: Dealers will check all seat mounting bolts and install new bolts where required.
Certain vehicles exhibit a condition in which a pinch bolt exists in the recliner mechanism that could trap and pinch a person's hand or finger(s) when the easy entry feature is activated. This pinching could cut the hand or possibly sever the finger(s) without prior warning. Correction: a protector will be installed over the recliner mechanism.
Certain vehicles do not comply with CMVSS 1101 - Emissions. Vehicles were built with an incorrect emission control label. The label incorrectly identifies the engine family name. Correction: Correct labels and instructions for installation will be mailed to owners.
