Recall 99V028000: Fuel Pump/Sender Assembly Wire Harness
Heat generation in the wiring harness to the fuel pump/sender assembly can cause an electrical short. The vehicle could experience a loss of power and
become immobilized and the fuel gauge may be erratic.
Heat damage, including melting or charring of the fuel pump and sender assembly wire harness and associated wiring harnesses can also result. The short
circuit could also have the potential for a vehicle fire.
Dealers will install a fused jumper harness in the fuel pump ground circuit that will be installed at the fuel pump inertia shut-off switch. Owner
