7 campaigns cover the Mondial.
THE UPPER STEERING COLUMN LOCKNUT WAS MANUFACTURED WITH INFERIOR MATERIALS AND INFERIOR SELF-LOCKING PROPERTIES.
THE ALUMINUM FUEL LINE FITTINGS ON CERTAIN FUEL INJECTION LINES CORRODE, CAUSING THE FUEL LINE FITTINGS TO BREAK.
THE FLEXIBLE OIL HOSES FOR THE ENGINE OIL RADIATOR COULD LEAK ENGINE OIL DUE TO INSUFFICIENT CLAMPING OF THE METAL CONNECTORS TO FLEXIBLE PORTION OF OIL HOSE. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: LACK OF LUBRICATION COULD CAUSE SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE; OIL LEAKAGE COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE FIRE.
UNDER CERTAIN SPECIFIC LOAD CONDITIONS, SUCH AS ACCIDENTAL HIGH SPEED IMPACTS ON THE REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM, THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS AND HUB ASSEMBLIES COULD DETERIORATE. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: PROLONGED USE OF DETERIORATED WHEEL BEARINGS AND HUB ASSEMBLIES RESULTS IN REAR END NOISE AND VIBRATION. THIS COULD ULTIMATLY CAUSE IMPAIRED HANDLING AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL, RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.
THE SPLINED COUPLING BETWEEN THE STEERING COLUMN AND STEERING BOX COULD DEVELOP INTERNAL CORROSION DUE TO ITS EXPOSED POSITION AND CHARACTERISTICS. CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: PROLONGED USE OF THE CAR COULD CAUSE DETERIORATION OF THE COUPLING, VIBRATIONS IN THE STEERING SYSTEM, AND HANDLING DIFFICULTY WHICH COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.
THE FRONT WHEEL BEARING MAY DETERIORATE, CAUSING VIBRATION AND NOISE FROM THE FRONT SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: CONTINUED USE OF THE CAR AFTER NOTICING VIBRATION AND NOISE COULD CAUSE HANDLING DIFFICULTY AND RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.
THERE MAY BE INTERFERENCE BETWEEN THE FUEL TANK AND SURROUNDING PANELS CAUSING ABRASION OF THE FUEL TANK SURFACE. CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: ABRASION COULD AFFECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE FUEL TANK AND RESULT IN FUEL LEAKAGE AND A FIRE HAZARD.
