Defect SummaryThe oil pressure switch which controls the power to the electric fuel pump can fail. failure is due to a missing rubber seal between the switch and the wiring harness. the missing seal allows contaminants to enter the switch causing it to fail in the open or closed position.
Consequence SummaryIf the switch fails in the closed position, the pump will continue to run when the engine is off, draining the battery. if the switch fails in the open position it will cause poor performance and possibly stalling.
Corrective SummaryDealers will inspect the vehicles for the presence of the seal. if the seal is missing, the switch will be replaced and a new seal will be installed.

Defect SummaryThe coating used to protect the accelerator pedal shaft is incompatible with the bronze bushing through which the shaft passes. over time, and in the presence of a corrosive environment (water, road salt), the shaft can corrode inside the bushing increasing the amount of friction between the rotating shaft and the stationary bushing.
Consequence SummaryA corroded accelerator pedal shaft can cause the engine throttle to bind and not fully return to idle when the operator's foot is removed from the accelerator pedal increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
Corrective SummaryDealers will install a revised accelerator pedal and shaft assembly.
