96V049000Received . 3,000 units.
Vehicle Speed Control / Accelerator Pedal
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
The coating used to protect the accelerator pedal shaft is incompatible with the bronze bushing through which the shaft passes. Over time, and in the presence of a corrosive environment (water, road salt), the shaft can corrode inside the bushing increasing the amount of friction between the rotating shaft and the stationary bushing.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
A corroded accelerator pedal shaft can cause the engine throttle to bind and not fully return to idle when the operator's foot is removed from the accelerator pedal increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will install a revised accelerator pedal and shaft assembly.

Fuel System, Gasoline / Storage / Tank Assembly
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Under high ambient temperatures (greater than 95 degrees fahrenheit) and the fuel tank level between 1/4 and 1/2 full, the fuel tank internal pressure can increase causing the tank to expand. Tank expansion causes an interference between the fuel tank protective shield and the propeller shaft resulting a hole in the fuel tank at the point of shield-to-shaft contact.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This condition can cause fuel leakage, and if an ignition source is present, could result in a fire.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will install a supplemental fuel tank venting system on these vehicles.

95V023000Received . 150 units.
Vehicle Speed Control
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Water can accumulate in the cruise control cable and if the outside temperature is below freezing and the cruise control is engaged, the water can freeze causing the cable to bind and not release as intended when the brake pedal is applied or the system is turned off at the master cruise control switch.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
The engine throttle can stick open resulting in loss of throttle control with the increased potential for a vehicle accident.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will remove the current cruise control actuator and cable assembly and install a new assembly. Additionally, dealers will change the routing of the cable.
