NHTSA Recall History
1990:
If engine operates continuously in overheated condition, hot coolant might escape.
1990-92 w/16-valve engine and California emission controls:
Tube in throttle-valve housing can loosen and fall, preventing throttle plate from returning to full idle; results in unwanted engine speed when car goes into gear.
1993:
Lock nuts may break and allow front axles to separate from struts, which can cause vehicle to pull to side and may result in loss of control.
1993-94 w/VR6 engine:
Radiator-fan-motor shaft could wear, get noisy and seize, making fan inoperative and eventually causing engine to overheat and stall.
