NHTSA Recall History
1992 coupe:
Passenger's side easy-entry seat adjuster on some cars may fail to fully lock after seatback has been tilted forward and seat slid forward, then returned to original position; seat could slide forward in sudden stop.
1992 with column shift:
Misadjustment of "Park" lock cable on some cars makes it possible for steering column to lock while in motion and ignition switch is "off."
1992:
A small number of cars were assembled with incorrect right rear spring mount; in the event of a rear impact, the right rear wheelhouse flange could sever the fuel-tank filler pipe and spill fuel.
1993:
The neutral-start safety switch may have been fractured during installation which could cause the vehicle to move unexpectedly or not start at all.
1994:
On some cars, welds in rear assembly of fuel tank may be insufficient to prevent leakage in certain rear-impact collisions.
1995:
If the starter fails, and the key is held in the "start" position for an extended period, the high electrical current flowing through the ignition switch could cause a fire.
1996:
During deployment of the passenger airbag, the airbag can snag on a reinforcement inside the instrument panel. This might cause the airbag to not deploy properly.
1996:
If the key is held in the "start" position for an extended period, high currents flowing through the ignition switch can melt internal switch parts.
1996:
Interior lamps might come on unexpectedly while vehicle is being driven.
1996:
Steering-column lower pinch bolt was not properly tightened. This could cause loss of steering control.
1997:
In rear-end collision, sheetmetal in left rear quarter panel on some cars may damage fuel tank or lines.
1997:
Omitted protective cover for underhood fuse center could result in short circuit and possible fire.
