  1. NHTSA campaign 97V122000

    Reported

    Service Brakes, Hydraulic › Foundation Components › Hoses, Lines/Piping, and Fittings

    Model years 1995–1998

    Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The bolts attaching the lower steering column to the intermediate steering coupling can contact the brake hydraulic system pipes located in the engine compartment.

    Consequence:
    This condition can lead to a brake hydraulic fluid leak and reduced braking performance.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will reposition the pipes to prevent contact between the pipes and bolts, and any damaged pipes will be replaced.

  2. NHTSA campaign 95V230000

    Reported

    Service Brakes, Hydraulic › Fluid

    Model year 1996

    An incompatibility can exist between the mineral oil supplied by castrol and the hydraulic brake system of these vehicles.

    Consequence:
    The brake pedal feel can vary, especially following a prolonged period of inactivity and higher pedal pressure may be required. This condition can cause a loss of braking capability and increase the potential for a vehicle accident.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will drain the hydraulic system and refill the system with new mineral oil. The affected spare bottles will also be replaced.

  3. NHTSA campaign 95V159000

    Reported

    Power Train › Automatic Transmission

    Model years 1995–1996

    An incorrectly positioned wire within the electrically operated gearbox actuator can chafe against the cover causing the transmission selector fuse to blow.

    Consequence:
    If the fuse blows, the driver cannot change gears or place the vehicle in park. This condition can disable the vehicle transmission, increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will reposition the affected wire to prevent contact with the gearbox actuator cover.

  4. NHTSA campaign 95V070000

    Reported

    Service Brakes, Hydraulic

    Model year 1995

    The lower steering column linkage heat shield can come in contact with a brake hydraulic system pipe mounted to the engine assembly, eventually resulting in a hydraulic fluid leak.

    Consequence:
    If a hydraulic fluid leak occurs, warning lights indicating loss of fluid and loss of system pressure will become illuminated. Front brake effectiveness will be lost, although rear braking would remain unaffected.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will reposition the affected hydraulic pipe and replace any damaged pipe.

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.
