By component
| 90V093000 | 1990-05-09. EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIMOUSINES BUILT BY EMPIRE COACH. VEHICLE ALTERERS LABEL MAY BE MISSING OR INCOMPLETE. |
|---|---|
| 83V028000 | 1983-03-07. POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE PARKING GEAR MAY NOT ENGAGE, EVEN THOUGH THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER IS PLACED IN THE "PARK" POSITION. THIS OCCURS IF THE LINKAGE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION THAT ACTUATES THE PARK GEAR WAS IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED. A PIN THAT RETAINS COMPONENTS ON A LINKAGE (ACTUATING) ROD COULD BREAK AND THE LINKAGE MAY NOT ENGAGE THE PARKING GEAR. Built 1982-12-01 to 1983-02-01. |
| 83V017000 | 1983-02-24. POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT. THE SHIFT INDICATOR MAY NOT ACCURATELY REFLECT THE SHIFT SELECTOR POSITION. SOME VEHICLES WERE PRODUCED WITH TRANSMISSION CONTROL SELECTOR TUBE RETAINING CLIPS THAT MAY NOT BE HARD ENOUGH. THE CLIP MAY LOOSEN OR FALL OFF, AND THE SELECTOR TUBE MAY BECOME DISPLACED. Built 1982-11-01 to 1982-12-01. |
| 1983024 | 1983-03-03. VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC OVER DRIVE TRANSMISSIONS. THE PARKING PAWL ACTUATING CAM RETAINER PIN ON THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ACTUATING ROD ASSEMBLY MAY HAVE BEEN INCORRECTLY HEAT TREATED. THESE PINS COULD POTENTIALLY FRACTURE IN SERVICE RESULTING IN THE PARKING PAWL NOT ENGAGING THE PARKING GEAR WHEN THE SHIFT SELECTOR IS PLACED IN THE "PARK" POSITION. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT SET, THE VEHICLE COULD ROLL FREE. |
|---|---|
| 1983018 | 1983-02-18. THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL SELECTOR TUBE RETAINING CLIP WHICH RETAINS THE SELECTOR TUBE TO THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK CYLINDER MAY NOT BE OF ADEQUATE HARDNESS. SHOULD THE CLIP LOOSEN AND DISENGAGE FROM THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL SELECTOR TUBE ASSEMBLY, THE GEARSHIFT SELECTOR LEVER MAY NOT INDICATE THE ACTUAL GEAR POSITION OF THE TRANSMISSION. FOR EXAMPLE, THE VEHICLE COULD ROLL FREE WHEN THE INDICATOR IS IN THE "PARK" POSITION OR COULD ACTUALLY BE IN DRIVE GEAR WHEN THE INDICATOR IS IN THE "NEUTRAL" POSITION. |
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.
