1981 Chrysler Cordoba

Component

Fuel System, Gasoline:Carburetor System

Consequence of Defect

engine may lose power or stall due to carburetor flooding. this is caused by a poor electrical ground on the carburetor fuel bowl vent solenoid. vehicles may also have driveability problems while the engine is warming up in cold weather. these problems include engine missing, sags, and hesitation. this is caused by a sticking carburetor oxygen feedback solenoid.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

dealer will inspect carburetor and if necessary, the bowl vent solenoid will be repaired by resoldering (reconnecting) the external electrical connection free of charge. if applicable, the oxygen feedback sensor will be replaced.

Component

Vehicle Speed Control:Springs

Consequence of Defect

increased friction experienced in operation or servicing of the system may result in a total friction level exceeding the force capability of the throttle return springs. this may prevent the throttle from returning properly to a closed position when the accelerator pedal is released.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

dealer will inspect and, if necessary, install return springs which will perform correctly, at no charge to owner.

Component

Structure

Consequence of Defect

the defect involves the potential for exhaust gas (containing carbon monoxide) entry into the passenger compartment which can occur as a result of improperly retained plastic sealing plugs in the rear quarter panel/trunk area of the vehicle. carbon monoxide is a toxic gas which in sufficient quantity and exposure time is potentially lethal.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

dealer will install improved quarter panel sealing plugs without charge to owner.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

dealer will replace the carburetor accelerator pump seal with a seal of improved distortion resistance. the carburetor will also be checked for the proper float level.
