Safety Recall # 705 -- Brake/Fuel Tube Corrosion

^ This service requirement applies only to 1995 model year Dodge/Plymouth Neon (PL) vehicles built through:

^ September 6, 1994 (MDH 090610) at the Belvidere Assembly Plant ("D" in the 11th VIN position)

^ May 16, 1995 (MDH 051615) at the Toluca Assembly Plant ("T" in the 11th VIN position)

^ The rubber isolator for the rear brake tubes, fuel vapor tube and fuel supply tube, may cause the tubes to leak due to corrosion perforation. To correct this condition, the rubber isolator must be removed and a clip installed to retain the four tubes to the crossmember. Also, all four tubes must be inspected at the isolator location, and any tube found with RED CORROSION must be replaced.

Note that only those tubes with RED CORROSION, as determined by the inspection in section "A" require replacement. The brake tubes are the most susceptible to corrosion. Very few fuel vapor tubes and even fewer fuel supply tubes are expected to require replacement.

^ This notification will be implemented in phases. Owners of vehicles located in the following salt belt states (Recall # 7051) will be notified initially:

Connecticut Michigan Pennsylvania
Delaware Minnesota Rhode Island
Illinois Missouri Vermont
Indiana New Hampshire Virginia
Iowa New Jersey Washington, D.C.
Maine New York West Virginia
Maryland Ohio Wisconsin
Massachusetts

Owners of vehicles located in the remaining non-salt belt states (Recall # 7052) will be notified about one month later.

Parts Packages:





^ Each involved dealer, to whom vehicles in the recall were invoiced, will receive enough Retainer Clip Packages to service 100% of those vehicles. In addition, enough of the tube packages will be distributed to service the referenced percentage of those vehicles as shown.
