Safety Recall:
Fuse Box May Cause a No-Start or Stalling Condition
BACKGROUND
A loose terminal in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box may cause the fuel pump to lose power. If the fuel pump becomes inoperative, the engine may not start. In the worst case, if the fuel pump loses power while driving, the engine could stall without warning, and a crash could occur.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
All owners of affected vehicles will be sent a notification of this campaign. An example of the customer notification is at the end of this service bulletin.
Not all vehicles within the VIN ranges are affected. To verify vehicle eligibility, check at least one of these items:
^ The customer has a notification letter.
^ The vehicle is shown on your campaign responsibility report.
^ The vehicle is shown as eligible on an iN VIN status inquiry.
In addition to the bulleted verification items, check for a punch mark above the fifth character of the engine compartment VIN. A punch mark in that location means the vehicle has already been repaired.
