Jan 24, 1978 · FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:CARBURETOR SYSTEM
WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES IS DEPRESSED AND THE ACCELERATOR PUMP IS ACTIVATED, A DISTORTED ACCELERATOR PUMP SEAL IN THE CARBURETOR MAY PREVENT THE PUMP FROM DELIVERING THE PROPER AMOUNT OF FUEL.
Remedy: 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.

Sep 1, 1977 · POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE PLASTIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT LINKAGE BUSHINGS INSTALLED ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY BECOME HEAT DAMAGED BECAUSE THEY ARE LOCATED NEAR THE MINI-CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THIS CONDITION COULD ALTER THE ADJUSTED RELATIONSHIP OF THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LINKAGE, CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO BE IN A GEAR POSITION OTHER THAN THAT INDICATED BY THE GEAR SHIFT SELECTOR.
Remedy: DEALER WILL REPLACE THE PLASTIC BUSHINGS WITH STEEL BUSHINGS AND INSTALL RETAINING CLIPS TO ENSURE THAT SHIFT ROD IS SECURELY ENGAGED TO THE LINKAGE SYSTEM.
NHTSA campaign 77V131000
Mar 15, 1977 · ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
THE REQUIRED MUFFLER TO FLOOR PAN HEAT SHIELDS WERE OMITTED FROM THE INVOLVED VEHICLES. THESE HEAT SHIELDS ARE NECESSARY TO PROTECT THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT INTERIOR MATERIALS, INCLUDING SEAT BELT WEBBING, FROM HEAT DAMAGE.
Remedy: THE DEALER WILL INSTALL THE NECESSARY HEAT SHIELDS ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES, FREE OF CHARGE.
