| 1998251 | 1998-12-22. Suspension.

High bearing loads can lead to thinning and eventual cracking of the lower control arm ball joint. This can result in separation of the ball and cap of the joint. Should this occur, the control arm to which the cap is mounted will drop to the ground. Should this occur while the vehicle is moving, reduced steering control could result in a collision. Correction: Lower control arm ball joints will be replaced. |
|---|---|
| 1992065 | 1992-06-02. Brakes. ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH POLICE OPTION AND 5.8 LITRE ENGINES, THE REAR BRAKE TUBE COULD ABRADE AGAINST THE VEHICLE'S UNDERBODY. THIS COULD RESULT IN A FLUID LEAK AND LOSS OF REAR BRAKES CAUSING A REDUCTION OF BRAKE PERFORMANCE AND INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES. CORRECTION: A SERVICE REPAIR WILL BE PERFORMED ON ANY BRAKE LINES THAT HAVE AN INDICATION OF CONTACT OR HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR CONTACT WITH THE UNDERBODY. |

IN ADDITION, HOT COMBUSTION GASES WOULD FLOW DIRECTLY THROUGH THE AIR BAG RATHER THAN THROUGH THE NORMAL FILTERING AND COOLING DEVICES, PRESENTING THE POSSIBILITY OF BURN INJURY TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. CORRECTION: AIR BAG MODULES WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF NECESSARY. |
A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
