ON VEHICLES WITH DUAL FUEL TANKS, THE DUAL FUNCTION FUEL RESERVOIR (DFR) MAY MALFUNCTION ALLOWING SUPPLY FUEL TO BE DRAWN FROM ONE TANK AND A PORTION OF THE UNUSED FUEL TO BE RETURNED TO THE OTHER TANK. AS A RESULT, THE OTHER TANK COULD POSSIBLY BE OVERFILLED, RESULTING IN OVERFLOW OF FUEL PAST THE FILLER CAP. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, THE POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE MAY EXIST. CORRECTION: A DFR CONTAINING "O" RINGS MANUFACTURED FROM REVISED MATERIAL WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.

CRACKS MAY DEVELOP IN THE MOUNTING SURFACE AREA OF AEROQUIP MAXI II 30/36 SPRING PARKING BRAKE CHAMBERS POSSIBLY LEADING TO FRACTURE OF THE CHAMBER HOUSING IN THE AREA OF THE STUDS. SUBSQUENTLY, THE CHAMBER COULD SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE IF THE CHAMBER PUSH ROD CLEVIS WERE TO SEPARATE FROM THE SLACK ADJUSTER AND THE AIR HOSE FITTINGS AT THE CHAMBER WERE TO FRACTURE. A DETACHED CHAMBER COULD PRESENT A ROAD HAZARD TO OTHER VEHICLES AND THE REMAINING SPRING BRAKES ON THE VEHICLE WOULD APPLY AS AIR PRESSURE DECREASED. CORRECTION: BRAKE CHAMBERS WILL BE REPLACED WITH CHAMBERS OF A DIFFERENT DESIGN.

A SNAP RING WHICH LOCATES THE PARK GEAR ON THE OUTPUT SHAFT OF THE TRANSMISSION MAY FRACTURE AND ALLOW THE PARK GEAR TO SLIDE REARWARD. THIS WOULD MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO ENGAGE THE PARK GEAR AND COULD RESULT IN VEHICLE MOVEMENT EVEN THOUGH THE GEAR SELECTOR IS PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION. CORRECTION: AFFECTED VEHICLES WILL HAVE THE SNAP RING REPLACED WITH AN IMPROVED SNAP RING. IN ADDITION, A REVISED TRANSMISSION EXTENSION HOUSING WILL BE INSTALLED WHICH INCORPORATES A CAST STOP THAT WILL LIMIT PARK GEAR MOVEMENT EVEN IF A SNAP RING SHOULD FRACTURE.

NOTE: THIS RECALL SUPERSEDES RECALL 88164. VEHICLES LOCATED IN THE YUKON, NOTHWEST TERRITORIES, ALBERTA, EASTERN BRITISH COLUMBIA, N.W. ONTARIO, MANITOBA AND SASKATCHEWAN. A SHORT, U-SHAPED NYLON FUEL TUBE (JUMPER TUBE) LOCATED ON THE LEFT-HAND FRAME RAIL CONNECTING THE FUEL PUMP TO THE FUEL FILTER COULD DEVELOP PIN HOLES IN THE TUBING WALL. IF THIS CONDITION SHOULD OCCUR, IT WOULD ALLOW FUEL TO LEAK AND A FIRE COULD RESULT. CORRECTION: A STEEL BRAIDED TEFLON FUEL SUPPLY LINE AND RELATED COMPONENTS WILL BE INSTALLED WHICH WILL GROUND THE FUEL LINE AND ELIMINATE THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE. THE U-SHAPED NYLON JUMPER TUBE WILL BE ELIMINATED BY THIS REPLACEMENT FUEL SYSTEM.
