NHTSA campaign record ↗
77V140000 · Power Train:Automatic Transmission:Lever And Linkage:Column Shift

Reported: 1977-09-13 (September 13, 1977)

THE INVOLVED VEHICLES WERE FITTED WITH TILT STEERING COLUMNS CONTAINING TRANSMISSION CONTROL INSERTS INTENDED FOR TRUCKS RATHER THAN PASSENGER VEHICLES. THIS MAY CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION SELECTOR POINTER TO BE MISALIGNED AND THE POSSIBILITY OF STARTING THE ENGINE WHEN THE SELECTOR IS BETWEEN THE NEUTRAL (N) AND DRIVE (D) DETENTS AND THE TRANSMISSION IS IN DRIVE.

Remedy: DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CONTROL INSERT, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.

Reported: 1977-09-15 (September 15, 1977)

THE FUEL FILLER CAPS ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY FAIL TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 301, "FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY". IN THE EVENT OF A REAR-END COLLISION, FUEL LEAKAGE MAY OCCUR.

Remedy: OWNER WILL BE SENT AN IMPROVED FUEL FILLER CAP TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE CAP. OWNER MAY INSTALL IT HIMSELF, OR HAVE IT INSTALLED BY DEALER, WITHOUT CHARGE.

Reported: 1977-12-14 (December 14, 1977)

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.
