NHTSA Recall History
1991:

1992 w/special-order 4.3-liter engine:

At low temperatures, throttle return spring could fail due to excess friction.

1995:
Improperly adjusted transmission linkage may permit shifting from "Park" position with ignition key removed.
1995-96 station wagon:
Airbag caution label and roof-rack caution label were incorrectly installed on same side of sunvisor.
1995-96:
Wheel lug nuts were not tightened to the proper specification. This could result in wheel loss.
