| 83V134000 | 1983-12-20. SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE. THE BOLTS THAT ATTACH THE D-SHAPED RING FOR THE SHOULDER BELT ARE INADEQUATELY SUPPORTED BY THE MATERIAL IN WHICH THEY ARE MOUNTED.

| 1989098 | 1989-07-13. Engine. ON 1984 MODELS, EXTERNAL CRACKS MAY DEVELOP IN THE ENGINE CYLINDER HEADS, WHICH MAY RESULT IN AN OIL LEAK ONTO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. ON 1985 MODELS, THE ENGINE ROCKER COVER GASKET MAY SPLIT, WHICH COULD ALLOW OIL TO LEAK ONTO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. BOTH THESE CONDITIONS CREATE THE POSSIBILITY OF THE OIL IGNITING CAUSING AN UNDERHOOD FIRE. CORRECTION: ON 1984 MODELS, THE CYLINDER HEADS WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF FOUND TO CONTAIN EXTERNAL CRACKS. ON 1985 MODELS, THE ROCKER COVER GASKETS WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED UNLESS THEY ARE OF A LATER DESIGN. |
|---|---|
| 1988066 | 1988-05-17. Seats And Restraints. THE FORWARD SCREW WHICH PROVIDES PART OF THE ATTACHMENT BETWEEN THE DRIVER`S SEAT BACK ASSEMBLY AND THE SEAT CUSHION FRAME COULD FRACTURE AND PERMIT THE DRIVER'S SEAT BACK TO PIVOT REARWARD. SUCH A CONDITION COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS THE BRACKET COULD CONTACT THE METAL BRAKE TUBE AND RESULT IN ABRASION OF THE TUBE WHICH COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND A PARTIAL BRAKE LOSS. THIS WOULD RESULT IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES. |
| 1984081 | 1984-06-28. THE FRONT SLEEVE BUSHINGS OF THE COOLING FAN MOTORS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO EXCESSIVE CORROSION IN AREAS OF HIGH ROAD SALT USE. THIS MAY INCREASE THE ROTATIONAL FRICTION OF THE FAN MOTOR OR RESULT IN SEIZURE OF THE ARMATURE SHAFT TO THE BUSHING. EITHER CONDITION MAY DRAW CURRENT IN EXCESS OF THAT OF A NORMALLY OPERATING MOTOR BUT LESS THAN REQUIRED TO OPERATE THE FUSE LINK. THIS COULD OVERHEAT THE MOTOR WIRING CIRCUITRY AND POSSIBLY RESULT IN AN UNDERHOOD OR INSTRUMENT PANEL FIRE. VEHICLES AFFECTED: CARS NOT EQUIPPED WITH FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING. QUEBEC AND ATLANTIC PROVINCES ONLY. |
