Summary
On certain vehicles, the speed control deactivation switch may overheat, smoke, or burn, potentially resulting in an underhood fire. The condition may occur either when the vehicle is parked or when it is in operation. Correction: Initially as an interim repair, owners will be instructed to return their vehicles to their dealers to have the speed control deactivation switch disconnected. As soon as replacement parts are available, owners will be instructed to return to the dealers for installation of a new switch or fused wiring harness.
Summary
Certain passenger cars, sport utility vehicles, and light and medium duty pickup trucks. A switch located in the plastic cover of the wiper motor gear case could malfunction and overheat, potentially resulting in loss of intermittent wiper function, loss of wiper park function, complete loss of wiper function, smoke or, potentially, ignition of the plastic cover material. Switch malfunction is most likely to occur when the intermittent setting of the wipers is being used, or when snow or ice obstructs the blades from returning to the "parked" position at the bottom of the windshield. Loss of visibility while driving increases the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect the date code on the wiper motor. Motors built with the suspect time frame will have the wiper motor gear case cover replaced.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the daytime running lamp circuit contains a resistor that is corroding. If this occurs, the resistive element can open, resulting in a loss of daytime running lamp (DRL) function. If DRL function is lost, there may be reduced vehicle conspicuity, which could increase the risk of a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will install a sealed daytime running lamp resistor.
Summary
On certain trucks equipped with an 8 foot box, pickup box attachments may be damaged during the 48 km/h front barrier test. During the subsequent static rollover test required by CMVSS 301 - Fuel System Integrity, a pickup box with damaged attachments may shift or become detached, and may result in fuel spillage exceeding the rate specified in the standard. Also, on all 1999-2000 gasoline powered vehicles with 8-foot boxes, the fuel tank vapour recovery valve may separate internally resulting in excessive fuel spillage during the rollover test. Correction: (1) The box-to-chassis attachment will be augmented by installing pickup box to chassis retaining cables. (2) The front fuel tank strap isolator will be repositioned. (3) A stop plate assembly will be installed on the vehicle frame forward of the fuel tank to prevent vapour recovery valve contact with a frame cross-member during the impact sequence.
