Airbag
2004-10-07 · campaign 2004-366
On certain vehicles, increased clockspring terminal resistance or a back-winding condition of the clockspring may cause the airbag warning lamp to illuminate. Until the problem is remedied, the drivers airbag will not deploy as required in a frontal crash, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will replace the clockspring assembly on vehicles with less than 115 000 kms. Owners of vehicles with over 115 000 kms will be offered extended lifetime warranty on the clockspring.
Fuel system
2000-10-03 · campaign 2000-215
On certain vehicles equipped with the 3.3L or 3.8L engine the Nitrile "O-ring" seals used in the fuel rail may degrade over time and extended exposure to elevated temperatures. This could result in fuel leakage, and, in the presence of an ignition source, an underhood fire could occur. Correction: External seals will be installed at both of the fuel rail crossover tube joints. If the crossover tube joints are leaking or red rust exists in the area, the fuel rail assembly must be replaced.
Emissions
1999-10-29 · campaign 1999-200 · 50 vehicles
On certain vehicles equipped with 3.0 litre engines, the Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) labels are those required by the US federal standard. Correction: The correct VECI label, along with installation instructions will be mailed to owners.
