Subject:
Safety Recall 88S40 - 1988 Tempo/Topaz - Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) Disengagement
VEHICLES AFFECTED
All 1988 Tempo/Topaz vehicles built from Job #1 through January 4, 1988.
REASON FOR THIS RECALL
The screws that retain Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) on the engine may back out allowing the sensor to loosen and potentially to disengage from the
throttle shaft. A disengaged sensor may prevent the throttle from returning to idle.
To correct this condition, dealers are asked to inspect all involved units and replace the throttle position sensor retaining screws on all vehicles not
having been previously modified.
