DEFECT #1 - FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM

Description
The fuel pump may stop functioning without warning.  This can occur because an electrical connector in the fuse panel may overheat and interrupt the electrical circuit.

Consequence


Corrective Action
Dealer will inspect the fuse box and its connectors for corrosion, and correct where necessary.  A bypass adapter to the fuel pump electrical circuit will be installed.

Notes
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with fuel injection.system: fuel system; electric fuel pump.consequences of defect: if the fuel pump stops functioning, the engine willstall or fail to start.  A stalled vehicle could cause an accident on thehighway.

DEFECT #2 - SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC: FOUNDATION COMPONENTS: DISC: CALIPER

Description
On certain vehicles, porous spots may have developed on the interior surface of the threaded hole for the brake hose during the moulding process.  These spots allow brake fluid to seep from the calipers during heavy brake applications.

Consequence


Corrective Action
Both front brake calipers will be inspected for brake fluid seepage and will be replaced, if necessary, without charge.

Notes
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles.system: service brakes; hydraulic disc caliper.consequences of defect: prolonged seepage, which could occur on both frontcalipers, will reduce the brake fluid level in the reservoir.  This could leadto a brake failure and vehicle accident.
