Probe V6-153 2.5L DOHC (1994)
Parts Return
NO
Program Terms
There are no time/mileage limitations for this program
Affected Vehicles
1989 through 1995-model year Probe cars equipped with non-turbo charged 2.0L, 2.2L, 2.5L and 3.0L engines that were originally sold or are currently
registered in Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Vermont and Wisconsin.
Reason For This Program
Salt water intrusion between the fuel pump/sender wiring harness connector and fuel pump/sender flange may cause electrolytic corrosion resulting in an
electrical short circuit. The corrosion is the result of heavy use of calcium and sodium chloride salts for road dust and ice control in the above noted
states. Should a short circuit occur, the instrument cluster gauges may act erratically, the driver may see or smell smoke inside the passenger
compartment due to the wiring overheating and the fuel pump may stop operating.
Service Action
Owners of affected cars will be asked to return their cars to their dealer for installation of a fuel jumper harness in the fuel pump/sender electrical circuit.
Should a short circuit occur after the jumper is installed, the jumper harness fuse for the fuel gauge will open preventing a stalled vehicle and overheating
damage to the wiring harness while causing the fuel gauge to peg past full. If the driver should continue to operate the vehicle for a long period of time
with an open gauge fuse, eventually the jumper harness fuse for the fuel pump will open causing the fuel pump to stop operating.
If an owner whose vehicle is not listed in OASIS believes his/her vehicle should have been included, or this condition is observed in a vehicle not
covered by this action, dealers are to contact their regional office for approval and submit the claim under this program for reimbursement.
Refunds
Only for owner-paid repairs made before the date of the Owner Letter (or after the date of the Owner Letter if an emergency repair was made away from
the selling dealer).
