DEALER WILL INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL SPARE TIRE RETAINING BRACKET WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE FUEL FILLER CAP BECAME UNSEATED DURING THE REAR IMPACT TEST. THIS IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 301, "FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY". FUEL SPILLAGE COULD OCCUR IN A COLLISION.
A NEW FUEL FILLER CAP AND A PROTECTIVE FUEL CAP HOUSING WILL BE INSTALLED FREE OF CHARGE.
CERTAIN VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH FACTORY-INSTALLED AIR-CONDITIONING MAY HAVE DEFECTIVE SPARE TIRE RESTRAINTS. VEHICLES SO EQUIPPED HAVE THE SPARE TIRE STORED ON THE FLOOR IN THE CARGO AREA.

DEALER WILL INSPECT, AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE RATCHET AND PLUNGER OF THE HAND BRAKE SYSTEM WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
