NHTSA Recall History
1997:
Windshield wipers may stop working, due to separation between drive pin and crescent in crank-arm assembly.
1997-2003 Grand Prix equipped with a supercharged 3.8L V6 engine:
Engine oil can leak from the valve cover. If the oil reaches the hot exhaust manifold, it increases risk of fire. Until sufficient parts become available to repair all of the affected vehicles, GM strongly recommends that owners observe the following important precautions: (1) do not park the vehicle in a garage, car port, or other structure; (2) if owners notice a burning odor, they should have their dealer inspect the vehicle. The dealer will inspect the vehicle without charge; (3) use premium fuel (91 octane or higher) as recommended in the vehicle's owner manual.
1997-98:
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.
1997-99:
When the hazard-flasher switch is used to turn the hazard flashers on or off, the retained accessory power feature can be activated without a key in the ignition.
1999:
Driver's airbag-inflator modules could produce excessive internal pressure. In the event of a crash, the increased internal pressure can cause the inflator module to explode.
2000:
Front passenger-airbag modules in a few cars have undersized inflator orifice; in a crash, this can cause inflator module to explode.
2000:
Some seatbelt assemblies were not properly heat treated and do not pass the load-bearing requirement.
2001:
Passenger airbag-inflator modules may have been built without the correct amount of explosive. Airbag explosion or failure could occur.
2003:
Right rear brake hose may be too loose, resulting in loss of brake fluid. Dealer will inspect vehicle and tighten affected brake hoses.
