Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.

Suspension:front:control arm:lower armAug 9, 1999 · NHTSA campaign 99V215000 · 402,830 vehicles

Problem: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The lower control arm attaching brackets can crack due to fatigue and separate from the engine cradle.

Risk: If this occurs, the transmission half-shaft could pull out of the transaxle and result in loss of power.

Fix: Dealers will reinforce the engine cradle at the point where the lower control arm attaches to it.

Fuel system, gasoline:fuel injection systemAug 6, 1998 · NHTSA campaign 98V184000 · 722,600 vehicles

Problem: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles built with 3.5l engines. The fuel injection delivery system can leak fuel from some of the sealing o-rings or from hair line cracks in the thermoset fuel injection rail.

Risk: Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.

Fix: Dealers will replace the fuel rail o-rings and reinforce the outlet (passenger) side fuel rail. Vehicles showing fuel leakage on the outlet fuel rail must have the outlet rail replaced which includes changing the upper and lower injector o-rings. However, if a vehicle is leaking fuel from the o-rings or from a cracked fuel line, the vehicle should be taken into a dealer to have this repaired as soon as possible.
