Correction: Engine cradle will be reinforced at the point of attachment to the lower control arm.
Summary
Note: Vehicles equipped with Bendix-10 Antilock Brake System (ABS) Vehicles with ABS brakes may experience premature actuator piston seal wear in the ABS hydraulic control unit and/or actuator pump motor deterioration. If this occurs, the ABS function may be lost and reduced power assist may be experienced during vehicle braking. Correction: Vehicles with ABS malfunction will be repaired as necessary. Warranty on all ABS components will be extended to 10 years or 160,000 km (except for the brake actuator piston assembly and the pump-motor assembly which will have lifetime coverage).

Summary
THE RIGHT SIDE STEERING TIE ROD MAY RUB AGAINST THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WIRING HARNESS INSULATION RESULTING IN A SHORT CIRCUIT. THIS COULD CAUSE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS, INCLUDING ENGINE DIE OUT AND AN INOPERATIVE PARK/STARTER INTERLOCK SYSTEM. CORRECTION: A REVISED WIRING HARNESS BRACKET AND PLASTIC CONVOLUTE SLEEVE WILL BE INSTALLED TO PROTECT THE TRANSMISSION WIRING HARNESS.
Summary
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3.0 LITRE ENGINES MAY NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 1103 - EXHAUST EMISSIONS DUE TO LEAKING FUEL INJECTORS. CORRECTION: INJECTORS WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED WHERE NECESSARY.

Summary
VEHICLES BUILT WITHOUT THE AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM MAY BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO WATER ENTRY AT THE WINDSHIELD COWL ABOVE THE HEATER BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR BLOCK. MOISTURE CORROSION OF THE RESISTOR TERMINALS COULD CAUSE AN INCREASE IN ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE WHICH COULD CAUSE OVERHEATING AND POSSIBLY RESULT IN A COWL AREA FIRE. CORRECTION: BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR BLOCK WILL BE REPLACED AND A MASTIC PATCH WILL BE APPLIED TO SEAL THE COWL AGAINST WATER ENTRY. ALREADY DAMAGED WIRING CONNECTORS WILL ALSO BE REPLACED AS REQUIRED.
