Item Affected: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
Date Announced: 05/18/1992
Description of Recall: THE ALUMINUM FUEL LINE FITTINGS ON CERTAIN FUEL INJECTION LINES CORRODE, CAUSING THE FUEL LINE FITTINGS TO BREAK.
Conequence: THE BREAKAGE OF THE FUEL LINE FITTING CAUSES FUELLEAKAGE, RESULTING IN INCREASED RISK OF FIRE IN THE PRESENCE OF A SOURCE OFIGNITION.
Action Need To Fix It: REPLACE THE FUEL LINES WITH MODIFIED LINES CONSTRUCTED WITH A CORROSION RESISTANT COATING TO PREVENT FUEL LINE SURFACE CORROSION.
Notes: SYSTEM: FUEL LINES.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CARS WITH VIN LOWER THAN 88386.

Item Affected: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:HOSES/LINES/PIPING/FITTINGS
Date Announced: 12/11/1986
Description of Recall: THE FLEXIBLE OIL HOSES FOR THE ENGINE OIL RADIATOR COULD LEAK ENGINE OIL DUE TO INSUFFICIENT CLAMPING OF THE METAL CONNECTORS TO FLEXIBLE PORTION OF OIL HOSE. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: LACK OF LUBRICATION COULD CAUSE SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE; OIL LEAKAGE COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE FIRE.
Conequence:
Action Need To Fix It: REPLACE LOWER AND UPPER HOSES CONNECTING ENGINE OIL RADIATOR WITH IMPROVED HOSES. ALSO, UPDATE OIL PRESSURE REGULATING VALVE ASSEMBLY.
Notes: SYSTEM: FLEXIBLE OIL HOSES. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CARS.

Item Affected: SUSPENSION:MULTIPLE AXLE
Date Announced: 06/12/1986
Description of Recall: UNDER CERTAIN SPECIFIC LOAD CONDITIONS, SUCH AS ACCIDENTAL HIGH SPEED IMPACTS ON THE REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM, THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS AND HUB ASSEMBLIES COULD DETERIORATE. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: PROLONGED USE OF DETERIORATED WHEEL BEARINGS AND HUB ASSEMBLIES RESULTS IN REAR END NOISE AND VIBRATION. THIS COULD ULTIMATLY CAUSE IMPAIRED HANDLING AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL, RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.
Conequence:
Action Need To Fix It: REPLACE BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT REAR HUB/HUB CARRIER ASSEMBLIES.
Notes: SYSTEM: REAR WHEEL BEARINGS AND HUB ASSEMBLIES. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CARS.
Item Affected: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
Date Announced: 12/09/1985
Description of Recall: THERE MAY BE INTERFERENCE BETWEEN THE FUEL TANK AND SURROUNDING PANELS CAUSING ABRASION OF THE FUEL TANK SURFACE. CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: ABRASION COULD AFFECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE FUEL TANK AND RESULT IN FUEL LEAKAGE AND A FIRE HAZARD.
Conequence:
Action Need To Fix It: INSTALL PROTECTIVE POLYURETHANE CUSHIONS BETWEEN BODY PANELS AND FUEL TANK.
Notes: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CARS. SYSTEM: FUEL TANK.
Item Affected: SUSPENSION:MULTIPLE AXLE
