Recall 1993029

The issue

On certain vehicles, an electrical "ground out" condition between the 12 volt junction block and the metal inner fender skirt may cause a melted junction block, smoke and burned underhood wiring. This could result in a disabled vehicle or a vehicle fire. This condition can occur while the vehicle is in operation, or with the vehicle parked and the ignition in the "OFF" position. Correction: Junction blocks will be inspected for corrosion and a shielding insulator will be installed under the junction block where required.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, le bris de la connexion de mise à la masse électrique entre le bloc de jonction de 12 volts et la doublure d'aile métallique peut faire fondre le bloc de jonction en émettant de la fumée et brûler des fils dans le compartiment moteur. Cela peut rendre le véhicule inutilisable ou causer un incendie. Cette condition peut se produire lorsque le véhicule est en marche ou Iorsqu'il est stationné et que le contact est à OFF.
