Recall campaigns
| Campaign | Reported | Part | Problem | Vehicles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 04V-036 | January 27, 2004 | 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. | 1,415,231 |
| 02V-286 | November 4, 2002 | Steering (rack and pinion) | Certain passenger vehicles and mini vans have lower pinion bearings in the power rack and pinion assembly in which the retainer tabs were not crimped properly. These and some other retainers used in vehicles assembled between january 1, 1996 and october 31, 1997, could fail and permit the ball bearings to escape. | 1,159,156 |
| 97V-219 | November 24, 1997 | Wheels (lugs/nuts/bolts/studs) | Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The wheel lug nuts were not tightened securely resulting in a fracture of the wheel studs. | 24 |
