VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE S/R OPTION. THE S/R OPTION INCLUDES, AMONG OTHER FEATURES, A 5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. ON THESE VEHICLES, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT PATTERN IS NOT DISPLAYED IN THE OCCUPANT COMPARTMENT IN VIEW OF THE DRIVER. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 102, "TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER SEQUENCE, STARTER INTERLOCK, AND TRANSMISSION BRAKING EFFECT."
Safety Risk
THE DRIVER MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THE TRANSMISSION POSITION OF THE VEHICLE.
Remedy
OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH AN ADHESIVE BACKED PLAQUE CONTAINING THE SHIFT PATTERN, ALONG WITH MATERIALS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR LOCATING AND AFFIXING THE PLAQUE TO THE VEHICLE CENTER CONSOLE, JUST FORWARD OF THE SHIFT LEVER. OWNERS WILL ALSO BE ADVISED THAT THEIR DEALER CAN AFFIX THE PLAQUE IF THEY PREFER.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MEDIUM DUTY TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH HYDROMAX HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEMS. THE PARK BRAKE WARNING LAMP CIRCUITRY DOES NOT INCLUDE A PROVISION FOR A PARK BRAKE WARNING LAMP CHECK FUNCTION. THEREFORE, THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 105, "HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEMS."
Safety Risk

Remedy
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A REVISED MODULE WHICH INCORPORATES THE PARK BRAKE CHECK LAMP FUNCTION.
Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. The output voltage of 9.6 volts to the headlamp high beam system during DRL (Daytime Running Lamps) operation results in a brightness exceeding the requirement of the regulation.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will install a revised Front Electronics Module (FEM).
Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 208 - Seat Belt Installations. The air bag warning labels may be in English only, rather than in English and French as required by the standard.
