Oil Sludge

June 30, 2008


Sludge clogs oil passageways in the cylinder block. These passageways,
which are about the circumference of pipe cleaners, are like arteries.
Once the passages are clogged, moving parts such as valves, pistons and
camshafts are starved of oil. They can seize, causing engine-destroying
failures.

Safety Improvement Campaigns

June 10, 2008

On March 28, 1995, Chrysler announced it would replace the rear liftgate latches on 4.5 million minivans manufactured in 1984 through 1995 to settle a NHTSA investigation.  NHTSA labeled this as a Safety Improvement Campaign, much less than a safety recall because it was not subject to any of the sanctions under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act if the manufacturer did not meet the reguirements of Safety Act or the rules thereunder.
