Known issues on the 2001 MPV. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. One covers the cruise control actuator cable on vans equipped with cruise control, which may be broken due to insufficient strength; a broken actuator cable may be out of position and could interfere with the operation of the accelerator cable, preventing a decrease in engine speed while driving and increasing the risk of a crash. A second covers the frontal air bags, where some passenger air bag modules were not properly welded and may not deploy in a collision, so the seat occupant may not be properly protected in the event of a collision, increasing the risk of personal injury. The third covers the hydraulic brake lines on vans built without anti-lock braking systems: due to an inappropriate brake pipe layout, if partial failure occurred in the braking system the stopping distance of the vehicle could increase, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 73 complaints for the year.
Whether you are tracing a cruise control fault, working around the passenger air bag module, or inspecting brake lines on a van without ABS, the procedure and specification you work to are the ones written for this 2001 MPV with the 2.5L V6.
