Receipt Date:
NHTSA 00v422000
Campaign:
Summary: Vehicle Description: Sport Utility Vehicles Equipped With 4.0l Sohc Engines and Still Retain THE Original
Throttle Body (Part Numbers 97jf-9e926ab or 97jf-9e926-ac). Some OF THE Original Throttle Bodies Installed

Engine Deposits Normally Present IN THE Throttle Body TO Contact or Bridge THE Gap. IF THE Engine
Deposits Bridged THE GAP Between THE Throttle Plate and Bore and Then Hardened, ON THE Initial

Additional Force TO THE Accelerator Pedal TO Break THE Bridge.

Disclaimer: This report does not contain detailed information regarding a vehicle's repair history nor information on all motor vehicles in the United States
because some states are not yet providing their vehicle data to the system. Currently, the data provided by states is provided in a variety of time frames;
while some states report and update data in "real-time" (as title transactions occur), other states send updates less frequently. Owner information may not be
fully updated or accurate in all instances.
Information on previous, significant vehicle damage may not be included in the system if the vehicle was never determined by an insurance company to be a
"total loss" or branded by a state titling agency.
A vehicle history report is NOT a substitute for an independent vehicle inspection. Before making a decision to purchase a vehicle, users are strongly
12
encouraged to also obtain an independent vehicle inspection to ensure the vehicle does not have hidden damage.
It may not currently include commercial vehicles if those vehicles are not included in a state's primary database for title records (in some states, those
vehicles are managed by a separate state agency), although these records may be added at a later time.
Brand types and definitions vary by state, but may provide useful information about the condition or prior use of the vehicle.
The information used to compile this report is aggregated from various government agencies, non-profit organizations, and industry sources. The accuracy
and reliability of the information supplied depends primarily on the reporting sources, and all entities involved in compiling this report accept no liability for any
errors or omissions.
NMVTIS Disclaimer: The National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) is an electronic system that contains information on certain automobiles
titled in the United States. NMVTIS is intended to serve as a reliable source of title and brand history for automobiles, but it does not contain detailed
information regarding a vehicle's repair history.
All states, insurance companies, and junk and salvage yards are required by federal law to regularly report information to NMVTIS. However, NMVTIS does
not contain information on all motor vehicles in the United States because some states are not yet providing their vehicle data to the system. Currently, the
data provided to NMVTIS by states is provided in a variety of time frames; while some states report and update NMVTIS data in "real-time" (as title
transactions occur), other states send updates less frequently, such as once every 24 hours or within a period of days.
Information on previous, significant vehicle damage may not be included in the system if the vehicle was never determined by an insurance company (or
other appropriate entity) to be a "total loss" or branded by a state titling agency. Conversely, an insurance carrier may be required to report a "total loss" even
if the vehicle's titling-state has not determined the vehicle to be "salvage" or "junk."
A vehicle history report is NOT a substitute for an independent vehicle inspection. Before making a decision to purchase a vehicle, consumers are strongly
encouraged to also obtain an independent vehicle inspection to ensure the vehicle does not have hidden damage. The Approved NMVTIS Data
Providers (look for the NMVTIS logo) can include vehicle condition data from sources other than NMVTIS.
NMVTIS data INCLUDES (as available by those entities required to report to the System):
Consumers are advised to visit www.vehiclehistory.bja.ojp.gov for details on how to interpret the information in the system and understand the meaning of
various labels applied to vehicles by the participating state motor vehicle titling agencies.
