1995 Spartan Alpine recalls 3
Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem
- These solenoids can fail to operate or pass current. These solenoids are used to turn the power to the ignition bus bar(s) on the power panel(s) on and off.
- The risk
- Failure of a solenoid will cause the set of controlled devices not to function. Some of these devices are: cruise control, back-up lamp, anti-lock brake electr0nic control unit power; turn signals; heater/ defroster, and/or windshield wipers.
- The fix
- Dealers will replace these defective solenoids with an "automotive controls company" solenoid.
- The problem
- Intermittent disruption of the functions controlled by the steering wheel center touch pad can occur caused by electrical shortage inside the steering wheel assembly. This does not conform to the requirements of fmvss no. 104, "Windhsield wiping and washing systems;" and no. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment."
- The risk
- Consequence of non-compliance: this condition can cause improper operation of the functions controlled by the touch pad. The function (1) fails to operate; (2) operates intermittently; or (3) operates unexpectedly, i.E. A function comes on without being switched on. Any of these could distract a driver increasing the potential for an accident.
- The fix
- Dealers will repair the steering wheel center control assemblies to eliminate the electrical shorting.
