1979 Fiat 124

Component

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

Consequence of Defect

a plastic tube covering part of the metal brake line for the rear brake system may allow water to accumulate. this water will oxidize the brake line. oxidation can cause deterioration or possible breakage of the brake line. this can result in a loss of efficiency of the rear brake system and can impair the total braking capacity of the vehicle.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

the defective portion of the metal brake line will be replaced without charge to owner.

1974 Fiat 124

Component

Structure

Consequence of Defect

vehicles may be susceptable to heavy rusting in structurally significant areas of the undercarriage. this condition may impair the attachment to the body of: 1) the front upper control arms, 2) the front cross member to which the front lower control arms are attached, 3) the steering box and idler arm mounting and 4) the rear trailing arm which is attached to the internal cross member below the rear seat and to the rear axle. undercarriage corrosion is accelerated by exposure to de-icing salts.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

all owners of 1970-71 vehicles will be sent letters advising them of the problem. due to the age of these vehicles owners are not entitled to free inspection or remedy. 1972-74 vehicles will be inspected within 120 days of owner notification. if damage from rusting is determined to impair attachments in any of the four critical underbody locations, dealer will offer to repurchase the vehicle.
