INSTALLATION OF MAINTENANCE-FREE CRUISE CONTROL LINKAGE
This revised version of Recall Campaign 94-0421, supercedes the previously issued Recall Campaign 94-0421 released in May 1994. Due to a production change in June 1994 (see S.I. 30/13), the old assembly kit is no longer available from the PDC's.
Effective Serial Number Range
Shown is a sample copy of a letter which was mailed (May 1994) to all owners of vehicles within the Effective Serial Number Range as shown.
This campaign was initiated because MBAG has determined that the control linkage on some vehicles may bind and not return to idle. Therefore, on vehicles within the chassis end number range given in the table below, a new cruise control linkage assembly must be installed.
Prior to performing campaign, check Vehicle Master Inquiry (VMI) file to verify if repair was carried out under service campaign. If the repair was already performed, affix one of the labels not shown to the A-pillar door jamb. The recall campaign number, 94-0421, must be legibly written on the self-adhesive label prior to it's being affixed.
See Work Instructions 320A, Grp. 30 shown for installation instructions of both assembly kits.
The dealership service manager should call the customer to schedule a service appointment, or arrange for a R.A.P. technician to service the vehicle on location. By LAW, VEHICLES IN DEALER INVENTORY MAY NOT BE RETAILED UNTIL THE RECALL CAMPAIGN IS PERFORMED.
While the vehicle is in the dealership, also perform service campaign 94-0411, provided all necessary parts are in dealer stock.
Please note that the MBNA press release for this recall will mention the Customer Care measures.
