NHTSA Recall History
1995:
Missing welds in lower front-suspension control-arm assemblies can result in separation of front bushing-sleeve subassembly from control arm, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
1995-96:
Front and/or rear hazard-warning lamps might not work.
1996:
Accelerator cable in a few cars could be kinked, causing high pedal effort, or sticking or broken cable.
1996:
If the key is held in the "start" position for an extended period, high current flowing through the ignition switch can melt internal switch parts.
1996:
Interior lamps might come on unexpectedly while vehicle is being driven.
1996-97:
Airbag could deploy inadvertently during low-speed crash or when an object strikes the floorpan.
1996-97:
Rear-suspension trailing-arm bolts can fatigue and break.
1996-98:
Faulty power steering bearings may have been installed on certain vehicles, resulting in difficulty turning the steering wheel. Dealers will inspect and replace all affected parts.
1997:
Driver's wiper blades on a few cars are 17 inches long instead of the required 22 inches.
1997:
Spare tire on small number of cars may have incorrect rim.
1999:
Instrument-panel backlighting on some cars may not function after driver adjusts interior-light intensity.
2000:
Instrument-panel lights have only one illumination level--not the two or more required--and could make it difficult to see objects outside the vehicle at night.
2003:
Due to inadequate contact, rear lamps that provide stop, turn-signal and taillamp functions could stop working; could also prevent cruise control from engaging.
2004:
In a severe crash, upper seat belt anchorage may separate, reducing effectiveness of the belt.
