81V131000 · Electrical System:Ignition

Reported: 1981-10-23 (October 23, 1981) · Model years: 1981

DUE TO INSUFFICIENT GROUNDING OF THE INTERNAL IGNITION DISTRIBUTOR PARTS, THE IGNITION COULD MISFIRE. THIS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT VEHICLE DRIVEABILITY AND LONGEVITY OF THE DISTRIBUTOR COMPONENTS.

Remedy: ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES WILL BE FITTED WITH MODIFIED IGNITION COMPONENTS. THIS INCLUDES A NEW DISTRIBUTOR HAVING IMPROVED GROUNDING. ALL VEHICLES WILL BE FITTED WITH A CAPACITOR TO REDUCE THE HIGH VOLTAGE PEAKS. THIS WILL BE DONE AT NO CHARGE TO OWNER.

82V134000 · Electrical System:Ignition:Module

Reported: 1982-12-28 (December 28, 1982) · Model years: 1982

INCREASED RESISTANCE IN THE SYSTEM WIRING CONNECTORS DUE TO THE POSSIBLE PRESENCE OF LACQUER, PLASTIC RESIDUE ON THE PINS AND IMPERFECT PIN DIAMETERS, MAY CAUSE IGNITION MISFIRING AND, IN EXTREME CASES, INTERMITTENT STALLING.

Remedy: DEALER WILL INSPECT AND INSERT CONTACT PIN SLEEVES DESIGNED TO SCRAPE ANY LACQUER OR UNWANTED RESIDUE AWAY. THIS WILL PRODUCE HIGHER CONTACT PRESSURE WITHIN THE CONNECTOR AND IMPROVE THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION.
