NHTSA Recall History
1993:
Eccentric cam-adjuster bolts in both front lower-suspension arm-to-front axle-bracket attachments may fail, causing vehicle to pull to one side.
1993:
Molded plastic pin that connects upper and lower steering-column shafts may be sheared; shafts could separate, causing total loss of steering control.
1993:
Retainer clip that secures master-cylinder input rod to brake pedal could work loose, allowing separation, which may cause loss of braking.
1993:
Safety improvement campaign advises that center rear seat belt buckle may not be accessible for cargo stowage when right side of seatback is folded down.
1993-98 in 15 states and Washington, D.C.:
Front-disc brake rotors can experience severe corrosion if operated for extensive period in "salt belt"; can eventually compromise structural integrity, allowing wear surface to separate from hub.
1995:
Parking-brake release button can separate, so brake may not hold and vehicle could roll inadvertently.
1996 w/Quadra-Trac, temporary spare tire, and 225/70R16 or 245/70R15 tires:
When temporary spare tire is in use, front axle can overheat; can force fluid out of seals, increasing risk of fire.
1996:
Fasteners that secure alternator fuse could have improper clamp load; arcing could cause fire in engine compartment.
1997:
Airbag could deploy inadvertently when ignition is shut off.
1997:
Fuel-level sending unit degrades over time, causing gauge to show significantly more fuel in tank than is actually present.
1998:
Power-brake-booster vacuum-reservoir diaphragm can split or tear; may cause increase in engine idle speed and loss of power brake assist.
