Consumer Description

COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE (DRIVER) DUE TO EXENSIVE CORROSION THAT BREACHED THE COMPONENT HOUSING, LEADING TO ELECTRICAL SHORTING THAT MELTED THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TERMINAL. THIS IS CLEARLY AN ENGINEERING / ASSEMBLY FLAW BECAUSE CORROSION SHOULD BE ANTICIPATED WHEN BOLTING ZINC PARTS TO STEEL FRAME MEMBERS (WITHOUT A DI-ELECTRIC BARRIER) INSTALLED IN AN AREA, SUBJECT TO DIRECT CONTACT WITH WATER & ROAD SALT, WHEN BEING SOLD IN NORTH AMERICAN CLIMATES.
