152 of 17,656 recalls from Transport Canada and NHTSA.
On certain vehicles, incorrect weld wire, in combination with the stainless steel shell of the catalytic converter, will cause rusting at the weld joints and premature failure to the converter assembly.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the catalytic converter.
On certain vehicles, the "Vehicle Emission Control Information" label may be incorrect. The label originally affixed incorrectly states that the vehicle conforms to EPA and California requirements.
No risk description available.
Replacement label and installation instructions will be sent to owners of affected vehicles.
Note: vehicles equipped with 5.4 Litre and 6.8 Litre engines. Certain vehicles do not comply with CMVSS 1103 - exhaust emissions. Trucks were built with Powertrain Control Module calibration code strategy features that may cause exhaust emissions which exceed the requirements of the standard.
No risk description available.
The Powertrain Control Module will be reprogrammed.
Certain vehicles may not comply with CMVSS 1105 - evaporative emissions. The rear fuel lines may allow fuel to seep and evaporate at the metal line to nylon tube joint at the rear of the vehicle near the fuel filter. This may cause evaporative emissions in excess of the standard.
No risk description available.
Vehicle will be inspected for signs of fuel escaping a joint between a nylon tube and a metal fuel line. If wetness or fuel odor are detected a reinforcement kit will be installed.
Certain vehicles may not comply with CMVSS 1103 - exhaust emissions. During calibration, the purge flow monitor may have been inadvertently disabled in the area of purge flow detection.
No risk description available.
Powertrain Control Module will be reflashed with proper calibrations.
Certain vehicles do not comply with CMVSS 1101 - emission device. The wrong vehicle emission control information label (veci) may have been installed.
No risk description available.
A correct vehicle emission control information label along with installation instructions will be mailed to owners.
Certain vehicles may not comply with CMVSS 1103 - exhaust emissions. The spark plugs on these vehicles may fail due to loose centre electrodes. Plug failure may result in exhaust emissions in excess of the regulations.
No risk description available.
Spark plugs will be replaced on affected vehicles.
Certain vehicles may not comply with CMVSS 1101 - emission device. The wrong vehicle emission control information label (VECI) may have been installed on the subject vehicles.
No risk description available.
Correct VECIlabel along with installation instructions will be mailed to owners.
Certain vehicles may not comply with CMVSS 1105 - Evaporative Emissions.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the evaporative emission canister purge solenoid valve. Also, the oldsmobile cutlass supreme convertible will have the prom replaced.
NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 5.7 LITRE ENGINES. THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) VALVE COULD FAIL DUE TO INTERNAL CORROSION. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE VEHICLE FAILING TO MEET APPLICABLE EMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS.
No risk description available.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE EGR VALVE FOR PART NUMBER AND REPLACE, IF NECESSARY, WITH A NEW DESIGN EGR VALVE.
Certain vehicles may not comply with CMVSS 1105 - evaporative emissions. The evaporative canister may allow migration of its contents (charcoal) through the purge system and into the engine. Missing charcoal may cause the vehicle to fail evaporative emissions testing.
No risk description available.
An improved evaporative canister and purge solenoid will be installed.
THESE VEHICLES MAY NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 1103 - EXHAUST EMISSIONS. THE ASPIRATOR SYSTEM MAY FAIL, RESULTING IN INCREASED LEVELS OF NITROUS OXIDE EMISSIONS.
No risk description available.
THE ASPIRATOR SYSTEM WILL BE REMOVED, THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR WILL BE REPLACED, IF REQUIRED, WITH ONE HAVING THE LATEST DESIGN AND THE POWER CONTROL MODULE (PCM) WILL BE REPROGRAMMED.
NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 2.5 LITRE ENGINES. THESE VEHICLES MAY NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 1103 - EXHAUST EMISSIONS. PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE CATALYST SUBSTRATE MATERIAL IN THE CATALYST AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD ASSEMBLIES (LIGHT-OFF CATALYSTS) CAN RESULT IN RESTRICTED EXHAUST GAS FLOW, LOSS OF POWER AND EXHAUST EMISSION LEVELS IN EXCESS OF THOSE SPECIFIED IN THE STANDARD.
No risk description available.
LEFT AND RIGHT HAND LIGHT-OFF CATALYSTS WILL BE REPLACED. UNDERBODY CATALYST WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF NECESSARY.
THESE VEHICLES MAY NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 1105 - EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS. THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL) MAY FAIL TO ILLUMINATE IN RESPONSE TO AN EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM LEAK AND/OR MAY ILLUMINATE FALSELY IN RESPONSE TO A SIGNAL FROM THE TRANSMISSION SPEED SENSOR DURING DECELERATION.
No risk description available.
A MODIFIED ECM WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
Certain vehicles do not comply with CMVSS 1103 - Exhaust Emissions. Vehicles may been built with the ignition coil wire too close to metal brackets or the transmission fluid fill tube (M/L van only). If the coil wire is too close to these metal objects, arcing may occur and cause failure of the wires which can in turn lead to a stalling/no start condition and/or catalytic converter failures.
No risk description available.
coil wire will be repositioned to assure adequate clearance from metal brackets and/or transmission fluid fill tubes.
Certain Ram 3500 vehicles do not comply with CMVSS 1101 - emission device. The Vehicle emission warranty statement in the engine warranty manuals does not include the powertrain control module and the catalyst in the list of warranted emission control components.
No risk description available.
Owners will be sent a warranty manual insert with the correct information.
Certain Ram 3500 vehicles do not comply with CMVSS 1101 - emission device. The Vehicle emission control information (VECI) label incorrectly identifies the trucks as 1997 models.
No risk description available.
Correct labels and installation instructions will be mailed to owners.
THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 1101 - EMISSION DEVICE. IMPROPER CALIBRATION OF THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) CAN RESULT IN UNCONTROLLED SPARK KNOCK, SETTING AN MIL (MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP), MISFIRE, ROUGH IDLE, AUDIBLE KNOCK AND/OR POSSIBLE ENGINE DAMAGE.
No risk description available.
VEHICLE PCM WILL BE REFLASHED WITH NEW CALIBRATION SOFTWEAR.
Certain vehicles do not comply with CMVSS 1103 - exhaust emissions. The calibration of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) may fail to adequately control CO emissions.
No risk description available.
PCM will be reflashed with a new calibration.
Certain sebring convertible vehicles do not comply with CMVSS. 1101 - emission device. The vehicle emission control information (veci) label has an error in the hose routing schematic.
No risk description available.
Correct labels and installation instructions will be mailed to owners.
