85V132000 · Engine And Engine Cooling:Exhaust System:Emission Control
Reported: 1985-10-21 (October 21, 1985)
EXCESSIVE TOLERANCE VARIATION MAY HAVE CREATED A GAP BETWEEN THE BUMPER BRACKET RAIL AND THE RIGHT FRONT FRAME OF THE REAR SIDE MEMBER. THIS COULD RESULT IN INSUFFICIENT SPOT WELDING ADHESION AT THIS LOCATION. UNDER REAR IMPACT CONDITIONS, BUMPER COULD BREAK LOOSE AND DAMAGE THE AIR VENT HOSE. THIS MAY CAUSE FUEL TO LEAK IN ACCESS OF THE MAXIMUM REQUIREMENT OF FMVSS 301. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: FUEL LEAKAGE CAUSED BY A REAR END COLLISION MAY CONTRIBUTE TO A FIRE IF A SOURCE OF IGNITION IS PRESENT.
Remedy: INSTALL A PROTECTOR KIT ON THE AIR VENT HOSE.
