Summary
ON VEHICLES WITH DUAL FUEL TANKS, THE DUAL FUNCTION FUEL RESERVOIR (DFR) MAY MALFUNCTION ALLOWING SUPPLY FUEL TO BE DRAWN FROM ONE TANK AND A PORTION OF THE UNUSED FUEL TO BE RETURNED TO THE OTHER TANK. AS A RESULT, THE OTHER TANK COULD POSSIBLY BE OVERFILLED, RESULTING IN OVERFLOW OF FUEL PAST THE FILLER CAP. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, THE POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE MAY EXIST. CORRECTION: A DFR CONTAINING "O" RINGS MANUFACTURED FROM REVISED MATERIAL WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
Summary
A SNAP RING WHICH LOCATES THE PARK GEAR ON THE OUTPUT SHAFT OF THE TRANSMISSION MAY FRACTURE AND ALLOW THE PARK GEAR TO SLIDE REARWARD. THIS WOULD MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO ENGAGE THE PARK GEAR AND COULD RESULT IN VEHICLE MOVEMENT EVEN THOUGH THE GEAR SELECTOR IS PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION. CORRECTION: AFFECTED VEHICLES WILL HAVE THE SNAP RING REPLACED WITH AN IMPROVED SNAP RING. IN ADDITION, A REVISED TRANSMISSION EXTENSION HOUSING WILL BE INSTALLED WHICH INCORPORATES A CAST STOP THAT WILL LIMIT PARK GEAR MOVEMENT EVEN IF A SNAP RING SHOULD FRACTURE.
