The fuel pump module in your vehicle has a small fitting that connects to your fuel line. In some cases, this fitting can leak fuel, even when tightened properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If there's an ignition source nearby, a fuel leak could start a fire, which could cause serious damage or injury.
Free Fix
AirTex will replace the faulty fuel pump module with a new one, at no cost to you. They'll contact you when the replacement is ready, likely in July 2007. You can also reach them at 800-880-3056.

The lower ball joint on your vehicle's front suspension is a critical part that connects the control arm to the wheel. If the rubber boots around this joint are damaged, dirt and water can get inside and cause problems.
Risk if Unfixed
If the lower ball joint fails, it could break apart while you're driving, making it harder to control your vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect the lower ball joint and replace it with a new one if it's worn out, or clean and apply a special sealant to protect it if it's still within acceptable limits – both of these repairs are free of charge.

The corner and bumper lamp assemblies on your vehicle are the lights that come on when you turn the ignition. Sabersport made some of these lamps, but they have a critical flaw: they're missing a reflective piece that helps other drivers see your vehicle at night.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're driving at night and someone can't see your vehicle's lights, they might not react in time, and that could cause a collision.
Free Fix
Sabersport will give you a full refund for the defective lamps. You should contact Sabersport at 1-909-598-7589 to arrange for the refund.
