   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Wells Vehicle Electronics, L.P. (Wells) is recalling certain Brake Light switches, sold as Airtex part number 1S5010, Advantech part number 5T9, Duralast part number CR4854, Valucraft part number CR4854VC, Carquest ECC "Blue" part number 53-54425, and Carquest Rig "Red" part number 58220, manufactured April 2, 2015, to September 18, 2015.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Wells will notify owners, and distributors will replace the brake light switch, free of charge. The recall began on March 8, 2016. Owners may contact Wells customer service at 1-920-922-5900.

   UCI-Fram Group is recalling certain model E84070 replacement fuel pumps marketed and sold by Airtex Products, LLP. The pumps were shipped from December 11, 2013 to June 20, 2014. The affected replacement fuel pumps may begin to leak fluid caused by a poor seal around an electrical connection.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Electrical System / Ignition / Switch

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   UCI-FRAM Group is recalling certain LS1328 ignition Switches sold as Wells LS1328, Duralast LS1328, Airtex 1S6097, and Carquest 53-27479, and LS1497 Ignition Switches sold as Wells LS1497, Duralast LS1497, Airtex 1S10961, and Carquest 53-27967, for use on various General Motors model and model year vehicles during repair and replacement of the original ignition switch. The weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the affected ignition switches to move out of the run position, turning off the engine and disabling the air bags.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the ignition switch moves from the run position to accessory, the car would stall and the air bags will not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury to the occupants.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   UCI-FRAM Group has notified its purchasers to quarantine and return all inventory. Any switches already installed in vehicles will be replaced by GM dealers as part of NHTSA recall 14V-047, free of charge. UCI-Fram's purchasers should contact UCI-FRAM Group at 1-800-890-2075.

12. 01E066000Received 21 Dec 2001. 9,038 units.

    Fuel System, Gasoline / Delivery / Fuel Pump

    Defect, in the NHTSA record

    Equipment description: replacement fuel pumps, parts nos. E2059m and e2064m for use as replacement pumps in certain 1989-97 ford light trucks and suvs. The fuel pump module was manufactured without the valving necessary to direct returning fuel to the proper fuel tank of a dual tank system.

    Remedy, in the NHTSA record

    Replace the module with modules equipped with the proper valving. Notification to dealers and owners began january 4, 2002. Airtex can be reached by email at airtexprodsales@airtexproducts.com or by fax at (618) 842-5019.
