The parking pawl actuating rod in the transmission may have an insufficient or cracked weld. This can cause the park cam end to separate from the rod itself, preventing the parking pawl from engaging the parking gear when the selector is placed in the park...
The involved vehicles contain defective fan blower switches that could in certain instances generate an excess of heat in the instrument panel.
The involved vehicles fail to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "Air brake systems". The brake drums do not meet with brake recovery requirements. Brakes may be not perform adequately on long downgrades or due to heavy applications of...
The optional tandem suspension assembly may have been installed using a standard beam end adapter kit, rather than the required special kit. Progressive deterioration could occur to the adapter to beam end bushing joint, possibly resulting in fracture of the...
Seat belts installed on the involved vehicles may have a false latching condition which would constitute a non-compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 209, "Seat belt assemblies".
The involved vehicles were built with an aluminum rear bumper reinforcement attached to two steel mounting surfaces. In climates where large amounts of rock salt are used, the aluminum reinforcement could experience corrosion where it attaches to the vehicle.
The heads may break off the front outboard seat belt anchor bolts during normal vehicle operation even under no load conditions. This is due to the combination of bolts used, high installation torque and arrangement of the body anchorage.
Moisture and blow of mist present in the positive crankcase ventilation system may, under conditions of sub-zero temperatures, accumulate in the air regulator, causing prolonged engine idle, if owner fails to fully warm engine before driving. The pcv system...
The park/run valve in the windshield wiper motor may stick in the park position. An out of balance dimension in the cylinder resulted in an undersized bore which may cause the plunger to stick. Therefore, the wiper motor may fail to start.
Dimensional differences in the 1980 versus the 1979 assemblies may allow the inner brake lining/shoe to move outward to a position where it is no longer retained in the shoe slot when the front brake inner linings become worn to the point of needing...
Some of the involved vehicles may have incorrect universal joint fasteners. These fasteners may loosen and allow the propeller shaft to disconnect from the axle or transfer case.
Incorrect headlamps may have been installed on the involved vehicles. These headlamps have been approved for export only and do not meet u.S. Requirements.
The involved vehicles may have been produced with rear axle shafts (right or left) that did not receive proper heat treatment of the bearing journals.
The involved vehicles may have been assembled with clear lamp bulbs instead of the correct amber bulbs in front park and turn signal locations. As a result, these vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "Lamps, reflective...
The turn signal flasher unit installed on the involved vehicles fails to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment". This incorrect unit causes the flash rate to be too fast or renders...
In some cases, the universal joint may penetrate the wall of the fuel tank. Insufficient clearance between the frame mounted plastic fuel tank and the driveline propeller shaft may allow contact between the shaft universal joint and the tank.
The insulation of the positive battery cable may possibly melt or become brittle due to the high temperatures which may be generated in the vicinity of the cable.
The steering gear mounting plate on the involved vehicles may develop fatigue cracks at high mileage which would allow the steering gear attachment to become loose. If this condition exists, the driver may notice considerable "free play" in the steering wheel.
