| Defect Summary | Certain vehicles may be fitted with an unauthorized fuel pump electrical inertia switch. this switch has a tin coating added to the contacts that create the potential for a high electrical resistance. this could cause overheating and possible distortion of the plastic mounting around the fixed contact. this could result in inability to start the vehicle since there is a flow of current to the fuel pump. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | ||||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the inertia switch at no cost to owner. | |||||||||||||||
