FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM RECONFIGURATION TO COMPLY WITH ENGINE EMISSION STANDARDS CAUSE HIGHER ENGINE VIBRATION LEVELS WHICH LEAD TO EARLY WEAR AND COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE SECONDARY THROTTLE RETURN MECHANISM.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IN THE EVENT THE PRIMARY THROTTLE RETURN FAILS, FAILURE OF THE SECONDARY THROTTLE RETURN SYSTEM WOULD NOT PROVIDE PROTECTION AGAINST LOSS OF THROTTLE CONTROL.
Remedy: A NEW PRODUCTION SECONDARY THROTTLE RETURN SYSTEM CONFIGURATION WILL BE INSTALLED.
INCORRECT MANUFACTURE OF THE HYDROBOOST CYLINDER ALLOWS THE BALL SOCKET CLAMP TO CONTACT RIGHT SIDE STEERING LEVER ON AN EXTREME LEFT TURN AND CAUSE FLEXING OF THE CYLINDER ROD .
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS FLEXING CAN CAUSE SEAL FAILURE OR CYLINDER FAILUREOF THE HYDROBOOST UNIT AND RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND RESULT IN AVEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy: REPLACE INCORRECTLY BUILT BOOST CYLINDERS.
STRESSES IMPOSED ON THE LEVER DURING TURNING MANEUVERS AND/OR IMPACT INCIDENTS, SUCH AS WOULD BE CAUSED BY CURBS OR ROAD SURFACE IRREGULARITY, REDUCE THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE PART. THE STEERING LEVER MAY CRACK AND EVENTUALLY THE STRESSES COULD CAUSE THE STEERING LEVER TO BREAK.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A BROKEN STEERING LEVER WILL CAUSE LOSS OF STEERINGCONTROL WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING WHICH MAY RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
