Recall 1991176

The issue

NOTE: ALL 1988-89 EXCEL VEHICLES SOLD IN CANADA. THE REED VALVE SUBASSEMBLY CONTAINED WITHIN THE AIR CONTROL VALVE COULD FAIL DUE TO CORROSION ALLOWING THE HOT EXHAUST GASES TO FLOW BACKWARD INTO THE PLASTIC SECONDARY AIR FILTER CASE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. THESE HOT GASES MAY MELT THE SECONDARY AIR FILTER CASE AND COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE. CORRECTION: REED VALVE SUBASSEMBLY WILL BE REPLACED.

Description (français)

Le sous-ensemble de la soupape à membrane monté à l'intérieur de la soupape de commande de l'air peut faire défaut s'il est corrodé, ce qui permettrait aux gaz d'échappement chauds de revenir vers le carter en plastique du filtre à air secondaire lorsque le véhicule est en mouvement. Ces gaz chauds peuvent faire fondre le carter en plastique du filtre secondaire, ce qui peut entraîner un incendie dans le compartiment moteur.
