Summary
On certain vehicles, cracks could develop in the fuel vent hose. If (1) the fuel tank is overfilled, not allowing excess fuel in the vent hose to flow back into the tank, (2) the vehicle is driven only a short distance after refueling and, (3) there is subsequently significant heating of the fuel tank, the fuel in the tank can expand into the vent hose and leak fuel. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire. Correction: Fuel tank vent hose will be replaced.
Summary
THE COWL SCREEN FOR THE HEATER/AIR CONDITIONER BLOWER HOUSING MAY NOT PREVENT, IN SOME CASES, THE ENTRY OF SMALL LEAVES AND FOREIGN MATERIAL INTO THE BLOWER HOUSING. IF THIS MATERIAL ENTERS THE BLOWER HOUSING AND ACCUMULATES AT THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR, IT MAY BE IGNITED AND COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE FIRE. CORRECTION: A SECONDARY AIR INLET SCREEN WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES. ANY DEBRIS PRESENT IN THE BLOWER ASSEMBLY WILL BE REMOVED.

Summary
VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE PARTIAL BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE DUE TO INTERNAL SERVICE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKAGE WHICH CAUSES LOSS OF BRAKING ON TWO OF THE FOUR WHEELS OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WOULD RESULT IN INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL, HIGHER PEDAL EFFORTS AND INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND SERVICE BRAKE CYLINDER WILL BE REPLACED IF NECESSARY.
Summary
ONE OR MORE OF THE BOLTS SECURING THE AUTOMATIC SHOULDER BELT RESTRAINT SYSTEM TRACKS TO THE B-PILLARS MAY NOT BE ADEQUATELY TIGHTENED. THIS MAY RESULT IN THE JOINTS HAVING LESS THAN THE DESIGNED STRENGTH THEREBY INCREASING THE RISK OF REDUCED SEAT BELT EFFECTIVENESS IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. CORRECTION: PASSIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEM TRACK MOUNTING BOLTS WILL BE TIGHTENED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.

Remedy
A NEW BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WILL BE INSTALLED.
