Fuel-tank filler reinforcement can leak, resulting in fire.
1995:
Metal shield on plastic fuel-filler pipe can develop static charge during refueling; could serve as ignition source for fuel vapors.
1995:
Some passenger-side airbags may not inflate properly; also, igniter end cap can separate, releasing hot gases.
1995-96 w/V6:
Tightening of the engine-cooling fan-motor bearings can result in increased motor torque and higher-than-normal motor current and accompanying high motor temperatures.
