V. Inspect/Replace Coolant Bottle Cap-1985, 86 and 87 Vehicles

All 1985 - 1987 vehicles were previously recalled to replace the engine coolant bottle cap to ensure proper steam venting if the engine overheats, (Safety Recall #425, July, 1988).

Inspect each 1985, 1986 and 1987 model to ensure that the revised bottle cap is present, using the following procedure:

1. Locate the engine coolant bottle in the right (passenger side) rear corner of the engine compartment.

2. Inspect the coolant bottle cap:





^ If a black, domed cap is present (Fig. 24), it is the revised version and it does not need to be replaced.





^ If a non-black cap with a raised stem is present (Fig. 25), it is an original cap and must be replaced. Install revised cap, Part Number 4546111.
