Toyota / Tacoma            2005
Manufacturer : Toyota motor north America, inc.    
recall date : jun 27, 2005
Component: air bags
Potential number of units affected : 11592

Summary:
On certain regular cab pickup trucks equipped with a bench seat, the seat position and seat belt buckle sensor connector pins are incorrectly positioned due to a wire harness manufacturing process error.

Consequence:
In this condition, the seat position and seat belt buckle sensor may not function as designed, affecting the adaptive air bag deployment, which if the vehicle is involved in a crash, could result in improper occupant restraint.

Remedy:
Dealers will inspect the seat position and seat belt fastening condition sensor connector. An additional sub-wire harness will be installed to correct the connector pin manufacturing error, if necessary. The recall is expected to begin during late july 2005. Owners should contact toyota at 1-800-431-4331.

recall date : jun 28, 2005
Component: engine and engine cooling
Potential number of units affected : 15307

Summary:
On certain medium duty trucks, the rear engine support bracket is composed of materials of insufficient strength. Normal vehicle vibrations may cause the bracket to crack.

Consequence:
If the vehicle is continually operated in this condition, the bracket may break apart, causing the transmission to drop out of alignment with the drive train.

Remedy:
Dealers will install a modified rear engine support bracket. The recall is expected to begin during september 2005. Owners should contact Mitsubishi Fuso at 1-856-467-4500.

recall date : jun 28, 2005
Component: power train: automatic transmission: lever and linkage: floor shift
Potential number of units affected : 15549

Summary:
On certain medium duty trucks, rust build-up on the automatic transmission (a/t) shift linkage may cause the linkage to bind. Rust build-up is accelerated in geographic locations that are situated near large bodies of salt water, or in regions with heavy snow/ice melting compound usage in winter months.

Consequence:
The effort required to operate the a/t shift control lever may increase if the linkage binds due to rust build-up. The shift control lever may become inoperative, or the physical shift lever position on the shift lever housing gear indicator may not match the actual gear selection at the transmission.

Remedy:
Dealers will install a modified a/t shift control lever assembly. The recall is expected to begin during september 2005. Owners should contact Mitsubishi Fuso at 1-856-467-4500.

Manufacturer : Volkswagen of America, inc    
recall date : jun 28, 2005
Component: fuel system, gasoline: delivery: hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
Potential number of units affected : 39583

Summary:
On certain passenger vehicles equipped with a 2.5l gasoline engine, a fuel supply line clamp located in the engine compartment may not be positioned properly and could cause a fuel leak.

Consequence:
Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.

Remedy:
Dealers will inspect the position of the engine compartment fuel supply line clamp and, if necessary, replace the clamp. The recall is expected to begin during July 2005. Owners should contact VW at 1-800-822-8987.

Manufacturer : Ford Motor Company    
recall date : jul 05, 2005
Component: tires: tread/belt
Potential number of units affected : 10061

Summary:
On certain sport utility vehicles, the left hand side tires may have damage at the center tread. The tread damage was caused by a section of steel fingerplate on a conveyor that had become sharp over time due to wear.

Consequence:
Over time, the damage may be sufficient to allow belt corrosion which could ultimately lead to a tread separation, which could result in a crash.

Remedy:
Dealers will have all four tires inspected (to ensure inspection of the left hand side tires that may have been rotated to the other side of the vehicle) for tire tread damage and, if necessary, replace the damaged tire. The recall is expected to begin on july 15, 2005. Owners should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.
