AIR BAGS |
|
Summary |
ON CERTAIN
VEHICLES, DUE TO
IMPROPER
ASSEMBLY OF THE
AIR BAG
INFLATOR, WHICH
IS USED IN THE
SIDE AIR BAG,
THE CURTAIN
SHIELD AIR BAG,
AND THE KNEE AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY,
SOME INFLATORS
WERE PRODUCED
WITH AN
INSUFFICIENT
AMOUNT OF THE
HEATING AGENTS
NECESSARY FOR
PROPER AIR BAG
DEPLOYMENT. IN
THIS CONDITION,
THE EXPANSION
FORCE OF THE GAS
MAY BE
INSUFFICIENT TO
PROPERLY INFLATE
THE AIR BAG WHEN
THE SRS SYSTEM
IS ACTIVATED
DURING A CRASH. |
|
Consequence |
THIS MAY
INCREASE THE
RISK OF INJURY
TO THE OCCUPANT
IN THE INVOLVED
SEATING POSITION
IN THE EVENT OF
A CRASH. |
|
Remedy |
DEALERS WILL
REPLACE THE
SPECIFIC SRS AIR
BAG. THE RECALL
IS EXPECTED TO
BEGIN DURING
APRIL 2006.

POWER

TRANSMISSION |
|
Summary |
ON CERTAIN
VEHICLES WHEN
THE ACCELERATOR
IS OPERATED
QUICKLY, A SMALL
PIECE OF METAL
MAY SEPARATE
FROM A RETAINING
COLLAR LOCATED
IN THE INNER
PART OF THE
AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION.
THIS SMALL PIECE
OF METAL MAY
BECOME CAUGHT IN
THE PARKING LOCK
MECHANISM.
|
|
Consequence |
THIS MAY CAUSE
THE PARKING LOCK
SYSTEM TO BE
INOPERATIVE WHEN
THE TRANSMISSION
SHIFT LEVER IS
PLACED IN THE
PARK POSITION,
THEREBY
INCREASING THE
RISK OF VEHICLE
ROLL-AWAY, WHICH
COULD RESULT IN
A CRASH.
|
|
Remedy |
DEALERS WILL
REPLACE THE
TRANSMISSION.
OWNER
NOTIFICATION IS
EXPECTED TO
BEGIN DURING

|
Summary |
ON CERTAIN
PASSENGER
VEHICLES, THE
IMPELLER INSIDE
THE FUEL PUMP
MAY HAVE BEEN
IMPROPERLY
MOLDED DUE TO A
MANUFACTURING
ERROR. ALCOHOL
IN SOME FUELS
MAY DEFORM THE
IMPELLER AND
CAUSE IT TO COME
INTO CONTACT
WITH THE PUMP
HOUSING.
|
|
Consequence |
THIS CONDITION
COULD INCREASE
THE ROTATIONAL
RESISTANCE OF
THE IMPELLER
AND, IN THE
WORST CASE, MAY
RESULT IN
FAILURE OF THE
FUEL PUMP.
|
|
Remedy |
DEALERS WILL
REPLACE THE FUEL
PUMP. OWNERS
