Recall campaigns
| Campaign | Reported | Part | Problem | Vehicles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 02V-216 | August 16, 2002 | Seat belts (front, buckle assembly) | On certain passenger vehicles, the safety belt buckle may "false latch" and expose the driver to unrestrained movement during a crash. | 189,706 |
| 99V-325 | November 19, 1999 | Electrical system (wiring) | Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. The wires connected to the c123 and c124 connectors can be put under tension by movement of the engine, thus pulling the wires and connectors, loosening them and resulting in a loss of circuit continuity. | 76,986 |
| 98V-222 | September 15, 1998 | Service brakes, hydraulic (foundation components, hoses, lines/piping, and fittings) | Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles without an anti-lock braking system (ABS). The steering intermediate shaft coupling can contact a hydraulic brake pipe causing fluid leakage. | 39,656 |
