THE ABS MODULATOR MAY CORRODE AND LEAK FLUID FROM THE FRONT BRAKE CIRCUIT. BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE COULD REDUCE BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS AND INCREASE STOPPING DISTANCES. THIS COULD RESULT IN A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL REMOVE EXISTING CORROSION FROM THE ABS MODULATOR AND INSTALL A KIT TO PREVENT FUTURE CORROSION.
A failure of this component (brakes) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
NOTE: POLICE SEDANS AND TAXI CABS. THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM MAY CRACK AT THE REAR STABILIZER BAR ATTACHMENT AND EVENTUALLY COULD CAUSE THE LOWER CONTROL ARM TO FRACTURE COMPLETELY. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: BOTH REAR LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND REAR STABILIZER BAR ATTACHMENTS WILL BE REPLACED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.

On certain vehicles, an electrical "ground out" condition between the 12 volt junction block and the metal inner fender skirt may cause a melted junction block, smoke and burned underhood wiring. This could result in a disabled vehicle or a vehicle fire. This condition can occur while the vehicle is in operation, or with the vehicle parked and the ignition in the "OFF" position. Correction: Junction blocks will be inspected for corrosion and a shielding insulator will be installed under the junction block where required.

THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCHES ON THESE VEHICLES CAN CORRODE CAUSING A VERY HIGH LATCH RELEASE EFFORT AND POSSIBLY PREVENTING THE HOOD FROM LATCHING PROPERLY WHEN IT IS CLOSED. IF THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH IS NOT PROPERLY ENGAGED THE HOOD COULD OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE DRIVER'S FORWARD VISION WOULD BE IMPAIRED POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: A NEW SCONDARY HOOD LATCH ASSEMBLY WITH IMPROVED CORROSION RESISTANCE WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
