Fuel System, Gasoline / Delivery / Hoses, Lines/Piping, and Fittings
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Fuel hose may be damaged due to too much pressure in crimping the hose end fitting. Consequence of defect: a fuel leak could develop which could cause a loss in system pressure and engine stalling. Also, fuel vapors in the engine compartment could be ignited by a spark and cause a fire.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Hoses will be modified by cutting off the crimped end fitting and replacing it with a nipple fitting secured with a screw tightened clamp.

85V023000Received . 5,916 units.
Vehicle Speed Control / Linkages
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Metal bushings for the cruise control linkage are subject to corrosion due to weather conditions. Also, there is not enough clearance between the bushings and the shaft; and the linkage points were not lubricated. Thus, cruise control linkage can bind, causing the accelerator pedal to stick in a depressed position. Consequence of defect: the vehicle, without warning, would continue at set speed and can't be reduced. This could result in loss of control and an accident.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Replace the metal bushings with the plastic version.
