1993 Chrysler Imperial

Component

Service Brakes, Hydraulic:Antilock

Consequence of Defect

the abs hydraulic control unit can experience excessive brake actuator piston seal wear causing pump-motor deterioration.

Corrective Action

if this condition occurs, the abs function could be lost and reduced power assist would be experienced during vehicle braking increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

Recall Notes

dealers will test the vehicle's anti-lock brake system and repair the vehicles if necessary. also the warranty on all abs components will be extended to 10 years or 100,000 miles (except for the brake actuator piston assembly and the pump-motor assembly which will have a lifetime coverage). owners will also be reimbursed for previous abs component repair costs.

1992 Chrysler Imperial

Component

Steering:Wheel And Handle Bar

Consequence of Defect

the zinc plating operation performed on the upper steering column shaft coupling bolt caused hydrogen embrittlement and breakage of the bolt.

Corrective Action

fractures of the upper steering column shaft couplingbolt result in a lack of coupling load on the shaft and loss of steeringcontrol.

Recall Notes

replace the zinc plated bolt with a phosphate plated bolt.

Service Brakes, Hydraulic:Antilock

Consequence of Defect

the abs hydraulic control unit can experience excessive brake actuator piston seal wear causing pump-motor deterioration.

Corrective Action

if this condition occurs, the abs function could be lost and reduced power assist would be experienced during vehicle braking increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

Recall Notes

1991 Chrysler Imperial

Component

Service Brakes, Hydraulic:Foundation Components:Hoses, Lines/Piping, And Fittings

Consequence of Defect

the anti-lock brake system high pressure hose may leak or detach at its crimped end fitting resulting in the discharge of hydraulic fluid.

Corrective Action

fluid discharge eventually causes the loss of both theanti-lock brake system and hydraulic assist for the brake system, resulting inincreased likelihood of brake lockup and increased stopping distances, whichcould result in a vehicle accident.

Recall Notes

replace the abs high pressure hose with a hose of different design and construction.

1991 Chrysler Imperial

Component

Seat Belts:Front:Anchorage

Consequence of Defect

front outboard safety belt may become difficult to latch and or unlatch due to a webbing stiffener entering the buckle housing and dislodging the buckle latch guide.

Corrective Action

latch may open during accident or sudden stop, exposingseat occupant to increased risk of injury.

Recall Notes

replace buckle latch engagement.

1982 Chrysler Imperial

Component

Vehicle Speed Control

Consequence of Defect

the automatic speed control switch may stick in the "resume" position restricting return movement. this will not allow the normal brake pedal operation to deactivate the system.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

the shield portion of the "resume" slide lever in the speed control unit will be replaced without charge.

1981 Chrysler Imperial

Component

Vehicle Speed Control

Consequence of Defect

the automatic speed control switch may stick in the "resume" position restricting return movement. this will not allow the normal brake pedal operation to deactivate the system.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes
