Seats And Restraints
Summary
On certain vehicles, the air bag electronic control module (AECM) will corrode if water/road salt is introduced onto the interior floor in the proximity of the AECM. The resulting corrosion of the AECM could cause the driver's side air bag to deploy inadvertently. Correction: Dealers will replace the existing AECM with one that is sealed from moisture intrusion.
Emissions
Summary
Certain vehicles have been built with an incorrect Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECIi) label. The label incorrectly identifies the engine family and emission system bar code information, and as a result, may cause the vehicle to fail an emissions test. Correction: Correct vehicle emission control information label and installation instructions will be mailed to owners.
Powertrain
Summary
On certain vehicles, the transmission fluid temperature could exceed the melting point of the connector which retains the fluid line to the transmission. Should this occur, the fluid line may become disconnected from the transmission and fluid may spray onto the exhaust manifold, possibly resulting in a fire. Correction: The connector fittings on the high temperature side of the transmission fluid cooler line will be replaced with connectors incorporating a stainless steel retainer.
Other
Summary
Certain vehicles do not comply with CMVSS 110 - tire selection and rims. The tire/wheel specification information on the vehicle certification label indicates a minimum size smaller than actually required. Correction: An overlay label with the correct tire/wheel certification will be applied to affected vehicles.
Electrical
Summary
On certain vehicles, the fasteners which secure the generator cartridge fuse to the Power Distribution Centre (PDC) may have an improper clamp load. Improper clamping may result in arcing at the connection which may potentially cause a fire in the engine compartment. Correction: Generator cartridge fuse fasteners will be properly tightened.
