THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH AN INCORRECT END CLAMP ON THE HAND THROTTLE ACTUATING CABLE. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, PERTAINING TO THE CLAMP-TO-THROTTLE CABLE ORIENTATION AND DISTANCES OF THE CABLE TO GOVERNOR SHAFT, THE THROTTLE CABLE END CLAMP MAY INTERFERE WITH THE OUTBOARD ACCELERATOR.
Consequence & remedy

THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER TO CHASSIS TUBE AND HOSE ASSEMBLY MAY HAVE BEEN LOCATED IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO CHAFING DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. CONTINUED CHAFING MAY RESULT IN TUBE OR HOSE FAILURE AND SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID.
Consequence & remedy

Remedy: THE DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, INSTALL A BRAKE LINE ATTACHING CLIP AND REPLACE ANY DAMAGED BRAKE TUBE AND HOSE ASSEMBLY WITHOUT CHARGE.
THE MASTER CYLINDER TO CHASIS BRAKE TUBE AND HOSE ASSEMBLIES MAY HAVE BEEN MOVED FROM THEIR INTENDED POSITION, WHICH COULD ALLOW CHAFING AGAINST UNDERBODY COMPONENTS. CHAFING PROMOTES WEAR OF THE BRAKE TUBE AND HOSE ASSEMBLY AND COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID.

Remedy: UPON INSPECTION BRAKE TUBE CLIPS WILL BE INSTALLED, IF NECESSARY, AND BRAKE TUBES AND HOSE ASSEMBLIES WILL BE REPLACED OR REROUTED.
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLED WITH THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE TUBE RETAINING CLIP MISSING. THE ABSENCE OF A RETAINING CLIP MAY ALLOW THE BRAKE TUBE TO RUB AGAINST THE SHOCK ABSORBER, CAUSING WEAR ON THE TUBE AND, EVENTUALLY, LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Not supplied
Remedy: MISSING BRAKE TUBE CLIPS WILL BE INSTALLED AND ANY CHAFED BRAKE TUBES WILL BE REPLACED.
THE PRIMARY CIRCUIT CONNECTION, WHICH PROVIDES PRIMARY ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE ENGINE, COULD DETERIORATE DUE TO HIGH CURRENT DRAW PRODUCED BY BUILDER-INSTALLED EQUIPMENT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Not supplied
Remedy: THE MAIN CAB WIRING HARNESS ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WILL BE MODIFIED TO ELIMINATE DETERIORATION AT NO CHARGE TO OWNER.
