RECALLS
2000
Automatic transmission shifter
Recall # 200217 / Code R58 / 1,840 vehicles
On certain vehicles, the shift cable locking plate may break, allowing the driver to shift into the Park position but making it very difficult to shift from the Park position. The gear shift lever and the PRNDL indicator may move, but the transmission will not shift from the Park position. If the driver were over time to manipulate the gear shift lever out of Park, the gear indicated on the PRNDL display may differ from the gear actually engaged.
Correction: Automatic transmission shift cable lock plate will be replaced.
2000-2003
Fuel pump terminal
Recall # 2004151 / Code R90 / 21,145 vehicles
On certain vehicles, the fuel pump terminal on the fuel sending unit can develop a crack. When exposed to heavy concentrations of road salt in the winter, if road salt enters the crack, the terminal strip will corrode and eventually could break due to corrosion. This will cause the fuel pump to stop operating and will result in not being able to start the engine or cause the engine to stop running without warning.
Correction: Dealer will replace the fuel sender unit.
2001
Fuel tank inlet
Recall # 2002205 / Code R75 / 739 vehicles
On certain vehicles, the fuel tank inlet shutter valve may not meet the sealing performance specification. Under certain conditions, fuel may spill from the filler inlet as the tank is being filled.
Correction: Dealer will replace the fuel tank inlet shutter valve.
2001-2003
ABS sensor
Recall # 2002026 / Code R76 / 10,844 vehicles
On certain four-wheel drive vehicles, water may enter the rear axle housing due to inadequate sealing of the ABS sensor in the axle housing. This may result in corrosion and eventually failure of the wheel bearing. If this occurs, the wheel assembly could separate from the vehicle.
Correction: Dealer will inspect the rear axle for water intrusion and replace any affected components. The ABS sensor will be resealed to prevent water intrusion.
2002
Airbag electrical connector
Recall # 2003045 / Code R79 / 4,487 vehicles
On certain vehicles, the clockspring electrical connector may not be fully secured to the driver side air bag module squib pin connector due to the retaining groove in the module not having sufficient depth to hold the connector in the assembled position. If the connector comes loose, the supplemental air bag warning light will come on. However, the driver side air bag will not deploy in the event of a crash.
Correction: Dealer will install a retaining clip on the clockspring electrical connector.
2002
Supercharged engine
Recall # 2002204 / Code R74 / 770 vehicles
On certain supercharged vehicles, the amount of intake air flow through the air flow meter may exceed the maximum preset diagnosis limit value which would cause the engine control system to go into the failsafe mode. Under this condition, the malfunction indicator lamp will illuminate and engine speed will not exceed 2400 rpm's regardless of throttle position.
Correction: Dealer will reprogram the electronic control module (ECM).
