Defect Summary	Deterioration of the reed valve subassembly may lead to a malfunction within the secondary air supply portion of the emission control system. the screws which attach the reeds to the reed valve subassembly may rust, and if the rusting becomes severe, the screw heads will erode and allow the reeds to separate from the reed valve subassembly. corrosion may also occur on the reed valve subassembly, deforming the reed seats and preventing the reeds from closing properly. separation of the reeds from the reed valve subassembly or improper closing of the reeds allow hot exhaust gases to flow backward into the plastic secondary air filter case when the vehicle is being driven. these hot exhaust gases may melt the secondary plastic air filter case.
Consequence Summary	The melting plastic air filter case may lead to a firein the engine compartment.
Corrective Summary	Replace the reed valve subassembly with one whose metal components are fabricated from corrosion resistant stainless steel.

	It was a rainy day. i was going approximately 30 miles per hour. the car in front of me slowed. i did also. my brakes would not respond although i was pressing on them. the car started skidding and wouldn't stop. i crashed into the car in front of me. the damage to the other vehicle was slight. luckily we both had insurance. this has happened to me once before, also when it was raining. i hit a curb that time. at no time during these two incidents was i driving at an excessive speed. the car just refused to stop.
