Summary
On certain sport utility vehicles the accelerator cable could have become kinked during vehicle assembly, resulting in chaffing of the cable. Continued chaffing can lead to breakage of the interior cable strands. Breakage of the cable strands can result in the throttle being stuck in the open position, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect and replace the damaged cables where necessary.
Summary
On certain sport utility vehicles contamination of an anti-lock braking system (ABS) sensor can cause the ABS electronic control unit (ecu) to incorrectly interpret the sensor signal, resulting in inappropriate abs activation. This can lead to an increase in braking distance that is unanticipated by the driver. Correction: Dealers will install a new ECU.
Summary
On certain vehicles, water contamination of the automatic transmission oil can lead to various failure modes of the transmission. One of these failure modes results in incorrect operation of the park lock function that could allow a vehicle to roll away if parked without the handbrake properly set. Correction: Dealers will check the park lock function; reposition the automatic transmission breather tube; and test the automatic transmission fluid and flush if necessary.
Summary
On certain vehicles equipped with the Active Cornering Enhancement (ACE) system, the left side engine idler pulley can fracture and ultimately fail. This would cause the pulley to throw off the serpentine belt, which can result in loss of auxiliary functions (power steering, water pump, alternator, air conditioning and ACE). Loss of steering assist would require increased steering effort and create the risk of a vehicle crash. Correction: Plastic idler pulley will be removed and replaced with a newly designed steel pulley.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the contacts of the relay, which operates the ABS pump, may stick and remain closed when commanded to open by the ABS Electronic Control Unit ECU. This will cause the anti-lock braking to cease to function and in certain circumstances the vehicle may experience inadvertent braking without activation of the brake lights. Such braking, without attendant brake lights, has the potential to cause an impact from a vehicle which is following too closely. Correction: A new specification ABS relay will be installed on affected vehicles.
