Cadillac Eldorado

On certain vehicles, the crankshaft position sensors may fail and cause an intermittent engine chuggle, stall or possible long starting crank time and/or a no-start condition, as well as illumination of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).  Correction:  Dealers will replace both crankshaft position sensors.

On certain vehicles, the inner tie rod nuts may be loose, which could result in separation of a tie rod.  Separation of a tie rod could cause unexpected steering input in some maneuvers and could cause a crash without prior warning.  Correction:  Dealers will check the torque of the inner tie rod nuts and if necessary, adjust the vehicle toe-in and tighten the inner tie rod nuts to the specified torque.

THESE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT OF ONE OR BOTH FRONT AIR BAGS IF THE VEHICLE INTERIOR HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO ENOUGH WATER TO SOAK THE CARPET AND ENTER THE SDM (WHICH IS LOCATED UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT).  CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL APPLY A SEALER TO THE SDM TO PREVENT WATER INTRUSION.

THE CANISTER PURGE EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS HARNESS ON THESE VEHICLES MAY BE MISROUTED.  UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS THE HARNESS MAY INTERFERE WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THROTTLE LINKAGE.  THIS COULD PREVENT RETURN TO CLOSED THROTTLE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED, AND COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
CORRECTION:  VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED FOR THE CORRECT HARNESS ROUTING AND A PLASTIC TIE STRAP WILL BE INSTALLED TO POSITIVELY LOCATE THE HARNESS.

Certain vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the electronic brake control module or the electronic brake and traction control module may cause the antilock brake system (ABS) to cycle during a non-ABS application. This may result in an increase in stopping distance and a possible vehicle crash.  Correction: Dealers will replace the electronic brake control module.
