NHTSA Recall History
1990-91:
Front-brake rotors on "salt belt" cars may suffer corrosion, resulting in reduced braking effectiveness, abnormal pedal effort, loud noise, and possible increase in stopping distance.
1990-95 sold or registered in 24 states or D.C.:
Rear lower-subframe mount-plate nut can experience corrosion cracking if subjected to long-term exposure to road salt; can result in fracture.
1991-95 w/3.8-liter engine, in 23 states:
Speed-control cable could freeze, causing throttle to stick and not return to idle.
1992 wagon:
Secondary portion of liftgate latch on some cars may not function, possibly allowing liftgate to open while car is in motion if latch is not in primary position.
1992-95 in AK, IA, MN, NE, ND, or SD:
During high winds, heavy drifting snow, and low temperatures, engine fan may become blocked or frozen and fail to rotate; can cause smoke/flame.
1993 in 21 states:
Front coil springs can fracture as a result of corrosion combined with small cracks.
1993:
Controllers intended for use in rear-wheel-drive vehicles (instead of front drive) may have been installed on small number of cars with optional antilock braking, which could result in reduced braking ability.
1993-94:
Headlights can flash intermittently as a result of a circuit-breaker opening.
1995 w/3.0-liter and 3.8-liter engines:
The engine-cooling fan bearing can seize. Excessive heat may be generated, melting the fan-motor electrical connector, and possibly causing fan-motor components to ignite.
1995:
On some cars, retainer clip that holds master-cylinder pushrod to brake-pedal arm is missing or not fully installed; components can separate, resulting in loss of braking.
