SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
Summary
THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT CAN EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE BRAKE ACTUATOR PISTON SEAL WEAR CAUSING PUMP-MOTOR DETERIORATION.
Potential Consequence
IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS, THE ABS FUNCTION COULD BE LOST AND REDUCED POWER ASSIST WOULD BE EXPERIENCED DURING VEHICLE BRAKING INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL TEST THE VEHICLE'S ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM AND REPAIR THE VEHICLES IF NECESSARY. ALSO THE WARRANTY ON ALL ABS COMPONENTS WILL BE EXTENDED TO 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES (EXCEPT FOR THE BRAKE ACTUATOR PISTON ASSEMBLY AND THE PUMP-MOTOR ASSEMBLY WHICH WILL HAVE A LIFETIME COVERAGE). OWNERS WILL ALSO BE REIMBURSED FOR PREVIOUS ABS COMPONENT REPAIR COSTS.
Brakes
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).
Brakes
Summary
On certain vehicles equipped with an anti-lock brake system (ABS), the high pressure hose may leak or detach due to inadequate crimping of the hose-to-end fittings. This condition could result in loss of brake power assist and a possible increase in stopping distances. Correction:(526) ABS high pressure hose will be replaced with a hose of different design and construction. (527) four hundred and twenty six of the identified mini vans will also have the ABS pump casting inspected for porosity. Leaking pumps, if found, will be replaced.
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
Summary
THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM HIGH PRESSURE HOSE MAY LEAK OR DETACH AT ITS CRIMPED END FITTING RESULTING IN THE DISCHARGE OF HYDRAULIC FLUID.
Potential Consequence
FLUID DISCHARGE EVENTUALLY CAUSES THE LOSS OF BOTH THEANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM AND HYDRAULIC ASSIST FOR THE BRAKE SYSTEM, RESULTING ININCREASED LIKELIHOOD OF BRAKE LOCKUP AND INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES, WHICHCOULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy
REPLACE THE ABS HIGH PRESSURE HOSE WITH A HOSE OF DIFFERENT DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION.
SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
Summary
FRONT OUTBOARD SAFETY BELT MAY BECOME DIFFICULT TO LATCH AND OR UNLATCH DUE TO A WEBBING STIFFENER ENTERING THE BUCKLE HOUSING AND DISLODGING THE BUCKLE LATCH GUIDE.
Potential Consequence
LATCH MAY OPEN DURING ACCIDENT OR SUDDEN STOP, EXPOSINGSEAT OCCUPANT TO INCREASED RISK OF INJURY.
Remedy
REPLACE BUCKLE LATCH ENGAGEMENT.
Seats And Restraints
Summary
ON VEHICLES WITH A 50/50 BENCH SEAT, THE FRONT OUTBOARD PASSENGER SEAT BELT MAY BECOME DIFFICULT TO LATCH AND/ OR UNLATCH DUE TO A BELT WEBBING STIFFENER WHICH COULD ENTER THE BUCKLE HOUSING AND DISLODGE THE BUCKLE LATCH GUIDE. THIS COULD ALSO RESULT IN PARTIAL LATCH ENGAGEMENT. CORRECTION: BUCKLE ASSEMBLY WILL BE REPLACED WITH A REVISED VERSION IF NECESSARY.
VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:FAN/MOTOR
Summary
WATER LEAKING UNDER WINDSHIELD COWL IN AREA ABOVE HEATER BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR BLOCK RESULTS IN CORROSION OF THE RESISTOR TERMINALS.
Potential Consequence
CORROSION OF THE RESISTOR TERMINALS INCREASES ELECTRICALRESISTANCE, LEADING TO OVERHEATING AND POSSBLE IGNITION OF THE WIRING CONNECTORSAND INSULATION, CAUSING A FIRE IN THE COWL AREA.
Remedy
THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR BLOCK WILL BE REPLACED, AND A MASTIC PATCH APPLIED TO SEAL THE COWL AGAINST WATER ENTRY. DAMAGED WIRE CONNECTORS WILL BE REPLACED.
Electrical
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.
