  1. NHTSA campaign 96V117000

    Reported

    Tires › Bead

    Model years 1995–1996

    These tires have bead damage which occured during tire mounting.

    Consequence:
    This damage to the tire reinforcing structure in the bead "toe" area causes a bulge in the sidewall after the tire is inflated. This condition will result in a slow air loss causing the tire to go flat. However, it is possible for the damage to result in a rapid air loss causing injuries to anyone if they were handling the tire when this occurred.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will demount each tire and inspect for bead damage. If bead damage is found, the tire will be replaced.

  2. NHTSA campaign 96V082000

    Reported

    Suspension › Rear › Springs › Leaf Spring Assembly › U-Bolt, Leaf Spring to Axle

    Model year 1996

    The four u-bolts nuts on either side of the rear axle were under-torqued.

    Consequence:
    Vehicle usage could cause the nuts to loosen and eventually fall off the u-bolt. This could result in sudden loss of vehicle control increasing the potential for a vehicle crash.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will check the u-bolt nut torque and re-torque any loose u-bolts to specification.

  3. NHTSA campaign 95V026000

    Reported

    Power Train › Automatic Transmission › Cooling Unit and Lines

    Model year 1995

    Due to a thin case casting, an external transmission leak can occur.

    Consequence:
    This condition can cause transmission oil to sprayonto the exhaust system and result in a possible vehicle fire.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will inspect the transmission case assembly for the involved case casting. If the assembly is involved, the transmission will be replaced.

How to read this recall list

This list shows every safety recall campaign NHTSA has on file for this make, model and model year. It is not specific to one vehicle: a recall often covers only vehicles built in a certain date range or with a certain part, and many of the vehicles it covers will already have been repaired.

What each recall field means
What each recall field means
FieldWhat it tells you
Campaign numberNHTSA's unique ID for the recall, such as 20V771000. Quote it to a dealer or when searching NHTSA's site.
ComponentThe system or part involved, for example air bags, brakes or electrical software.
SummaryWhat the defect or non-compliance is and which vehicles are covered.
ConsequenceThe safety risk if the problem isn't fixed.
RemedyWhat the manufacturer will do, such as a repair, replacement or software update, and whether it is free.
  • Some recalls carry an NHTSA consumer advisory, “Do Not Drive” or “Park Outside”. Follow it until the repair is done.
  • A single campaign often covers several models or model years, so the same campaign number can appear in more than one list.
  • Recalls are shown as NHTSA publishes them. Very recent campaigns may take time to appear.
