    Steering / Gear Box (Other Than Rack and Pinion)

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On the involved vehicles, the manual steering gears may contain steering gear recirculatory balls that could fracture. This fracturing is a result of improper heat-treatment during manufacture and can eventually cause increased steering effort.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the ball bearings of the steering gear, without charge to owner.

    Fuel System, Gasoline / Delivery / Hoses, Lines/Piping, and Fittings

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    The involved vehicles may experience fuel leakage at the rubber hose connecting the fuel inlet tube to the carburetor filter. This leakage condition is due to insufficient insertion of the fuel tube into the hose or improper positioning of the hose clamp, causing the clamp to be crimped directly over the fuel tube bead.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealer will replace the existing fuel hose clamp with a spring-type clamp at the hose-to-fuel inlet tube connection, and adjust the connection where necessary, without charge.

    Fuel System, Gasoline / Storage / Tank Assembly / Mounting

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    The upper support strap nuts, attaching the fuel tank, were not tightened to specifications. This may allow the fuel tank to detach and fall to the ground.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealer will tighten attaching nuts to proper specifications to secure the fuel tank, at no cost to owner.
