Recall campaigns
| Campaign | Reported | Part | Problem | Vehicles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 02V-070 | March 6, 2002 | Electrical system (ignition, switch) | On certain passenger vehicles. If the engine fails to start and the driver holds the key in the "start" position for an extended period, high current flows through the ignition switch, and sometimes produces enough heat to melt internal switch parts. | 1,589,948 |
| 98V-027 | February 17, 1998 | Interior lighting | Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. These vehicles were built with the potential for the interior lamps to come on unexpectedly while the vehicles are being driven. This does not meet the requirements of fmvss no. 101, "controls and displays." | 249,420 |
| 96V-249 | December 17, 1996 | Steering (steering wheel/handle bar) | The steering column lower pinch bolt was not properly tightened during assembly. | 424 |
| 96V-211 | October 28, 1996 | Air bags (frontal) | During deployment of the passenger air bag, the air bag fabric can snag on a reinforcement inside the instrument panel, causing the expanding air bag to lift the instrument panel pad and then deploy under the instrument panel instead of through the door in the instrument panel. | 48,689 |
