## What is wrong

CERTAIN VEHICLES MAY BE FITTED WITH AN UNAUTHORIZED FUEL PUMP ELECTRICAL INERTIA SWITCH. THIS SWITCH HAS A TIN COATING ADDED TO THE CONTACTS THAT CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR A HIGH ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE. THIS COULD CAUSE OVERHEATING AND POSSIBLE DISTORTION OF THE PLASTIC MOUNTING AROUND THE FIXED CONTACT. THIS COULD RESULT IN INABILITY TO START THE VEHICLE SINCE THERE IS A FLOW OF CURRENT TO THE FUEL PUMP.


## The remedy

DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE INERTIA SWITCH AT NO COST TO OWNER.


## Notes

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES.SYSTEM: FUEL; ELECTRICAL INERTIA SWITCH.CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: AN INABILITY TO RESTART THE ENGINE MAY CAUSE A TRAFFICHAZARD AND THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT.
