NHTSA Recall History

1994 2WD/4WD: The windshield wiper motor may fail on certain vehicles. Dealer will inspect and replace affected parts.
1994 w/2.2-liter engine: Vacuum hose can detach from power-brake-booster check valve, as a result of engine backfire.
1994-95 Postal Vehicle: Loose/worn steering shaft can result in separation from steering gear.
1994-96 w/4WD and ABS: Increased stopping distances can occur during ABS stops while in 2WD mode.
1994-97: Seatbelt webbing on certain models can separate during frontal impact.
1995 w/air conditioning and V6 engine: Rivet can break and allow fan blade to separate from hub.
1996 2WD manual-shift w/2.2-liter engine: Drive wheels could seize and lock while truck is moving.
1996: Top coat of paint on a few trucks peels severely.
1996-97 w/V6 engine: Front brake line can contact oil pan, causing wear that may result in fluid loss.
1997: The windshield wiper motor may fail on certain vehicles. Dealer will inspect and replace affected parts.
1997-98 electric: Fuel-fired heater-pipe ground strap contacts rear brake pipe, leading to premature corrosion and eventual loss of brake-pipe integrity.
1998: Daytime running lights do not meet FMVSS No. 108 requirements.
1998: Fatigue fracture of rear-axle brake pipe can occur, causing slow fluid leak and resulting in soft brake pedal; if pipe breaks, driver would face sudden loss of rear-brake performance.
1998: Wiring-harness clip can melt and drip onto exhaust manifold, possibly resulting in fire.
1999: Safety-belt retractor may not meet the locking requirements, leaving the occupant improperly restrained in a collision.
2000 w/2WD: On certain vehicles, right-hand ABS module feed pipe and/or brake crossover pipe-tube nuts could have been tightened improperly; seal could have been broken, causing leakage and increasing stopping distance.
2000 w/all-disc brakes: Out-of-spec spring clip in ABS motor could allow bearing to become misaligned; eventually, ABS and Dynamic Rear Proportioning system would become inoperative.
2000-01: Some seatbelt assemblies were not properly heat treated and do not pass the load-bearing requirement.
