Safety Recall # 780 -- Transfer Case Oil Leaks

^ This service requirement applies only to:

^ 1990 Through 1998 Model Year Eagle Talon TSi All Wheel Drive (BD/FJ24) Vehicles Built Through February 2, 1998 (MDH 0202XX)

^ 1992 Through 1994 Model Year Plymouth Laser RS All Wheel Drive (BD) Vehicles

^ The transfer case on the above listed vehicles, may develop an oil leak and/or have a low oil level. This could result in transfer case bearing failure and wheel lockup. To correct this condition, the transfer case oil level must be checked and the transfer case and driveshaft yoke must be inspected for leaks and repaired if necessary. In addition, the transfer case must be replaced if it exhibits abnormal noise or has no oil (ignore normal gear noise such as high pitch whine).

Alternate Transportation:

^ If inspection determines that transfer case replacement is required and the vehicle must be held overnight, dealers should attempt to minimize customer inconvenience by placing the owner in a loaner vehicle.

Parts Packages:

^ Each involved dealer, to whom vehicles in the recall were invoiced, will receive enough Driveshaft Yoke Packages to service about 10% of those vehicles.

^ Due to the very small number of vehicles expected to require transfer case replacement, dealers are requested to order transfer cases only after inspection has determined that replacement is required.
