SUBJECT:
FUEL TANK SLOSH OR THUD

MODELS AFFECTED:
1993 ALLANTES

Some owners of 1993 Allante's's may comment of a slosh or thud noise in the rear of the vehicle when coming to a stop when the fuel tank is between one and three quarter full. This condition may be mis-diagnosed as a loose lumber noise in the rear suspension. The condition may be caused by a wave of fuel contacting the forward end of the fuel tank. The original fuel tank does not contain a baffle.

To repair this condition replace the fuel tank with a new fuel tank with baffle, P/N 3540036. Parts are expected to be available on June 7, 1993.

For warranty purposes use Labor Operation L1260, Fuel Tank Replace, at 1.3 hours.
