|---|---|
| 89V067000 | 1989-05-01. VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL. WHEN USING THE CRUISE CONTROL THE ACCELERATOR CABLE TENSION MAY ALLOW THE CABLE TO SAG AND BECOME ENTANGLED WITH THE WATER PIPE BRACKET IMPEDING ITS RETURN TO IDLE POSITION. Built 1987-08-01 to 1988-12-01. |

| 1989081 | 1989-06-02. Engine. IF THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ACTIVATED AND A PRESET SPEED IS RESUMED BY OPERATING THE "RESUME" SWITCH, THE TENSION ON THE ACCELERATOR CABLE WILL DECREASE ALLOWING THE CABLE TO SAG. AS A RESULT, THE CABLE COULD BECOME ENTANGLED WITH A WATER PIPE BRACKET AND NOT RETURN TO ITS FULL IDLE POSITION. THIS CONDITION COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. CORRECTION: ACCELERATOR CABLE BRACKET WILL BE REPLACED WITH A REDESIGNED VERSION WHICH WILL REPOSITION THE ACCELERATOR CABLE. |
|---|---|
| 1988062 | 1988-04-27. Fuel System. THE ADDITIONAL IN-LINE FUEL FILTER BETWEEN THE FUEL TANK AND THE FUEL PUMP MAY EXPERIENCE FUEL SEEPAGE AT THE SEAM OF THE CASING. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, LEAKED FUEL COULD IGNITE AND RESULT IN AN ENGINE FIRE. CORRECTION: FILTER WILL BE REPLACED WITH A STRAIGHT FUEL HOSE. V.I.N. RANGE: ALSO, THE FUEL HOSE ON THE ENGINE'S RIGHT SIDE, COULD, UNDER CERTAIN CLIMATIC AND DRIVING CONDITIONS, BECOME BRITTLE AND CONSEQUENTLY LEAK FUEL.

DURING FORCEFUL SHIFTING, THE PIN MAY BREAK LOOSE ALLOWING THE SHIFT LEVER TO BE INADVERTENTLY MOVED FROM "D" TO "R" WITHOUT PRESSING THE RELEASE BUTTON. IF THIS OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, IT COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: SHIFT LOCKING PAWL WILL BE REPLACED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES. |
| 1987043 | 1987-04-29. Fuel System. On certain Vanagon and Vanagon Synchro, vapors could form in the fuel system during high ambient temperature and become trapped in a fuel filter which is permanently attached inside the fuel tank. If this happens, the fuel flow may become restricted and cause the engine to stall. Engine may also stall when fuel with a higher vapor pressure (up to 14 psi) is used since the main and idle control units are programmed on the basis of fuel with lower vapor pressure. A stalling vehicle in traffic could pose a threat to traffic safety. Correction: install new tank with redesigned fuel filter as well as modified control unit. |
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.
