NHTSA Recall History
1997-05 Venture w/second-row bucket seats or captain's chairs and power sliding passenger door::
If someone holds onto the sliding-door handle while it's being opened by the motor, that person's arm may be pushed into the seatback or armrest, possibly resulting in injury to wrist or lower arm.
1997-2001 Venture w/passenger-side power doors:
Door closes but may not be latched. If this happens, the sliding door can open while the vehicle is in motion.
1997-98 Venture w/bucket seats or split bench seat in second or third row:
Seat-latch mechanism does not have protective covers; when activating release mechanism to roll a bucket seat forward, finger(s) could be severely injured or severed, if they are not kept clear.
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.
1997-98:
Windshield-wiper linkage arm can contact brake line connected to traction-control modulator valve; brake line can chafe, resulting in brake-fluid leakage.
1998:
Broken shift-cable fitting or loose shift linkage can occur; moving shift lever to "Park" position may not shift the transmission to "Park," and vehicle could roll.
1998-01 w/passenger-side sliding door:
Front passenger-side sliding doors may have inadequate welds. Actuator can jam in the unlatched position and, when the sliding door closes, it will not be latched.
1999:
Front lower insulator to cradle sleeve on small number of minivans may collapse, which could result in steering-shaft separation.
2000 w/extended wheelbase:
Small number of vehicles have inoperative fuel-tank rollover valves.
2000:
Some seatbelt assemblies were not properly heat treated and do not pass the load-bearing requirement.
2001:
Owner's manual doesn't adequately explain-child restraint anchorage system. Dealers will send vehicle owners a supplement to their manual.
2001:
Passenger-airbag inflator modules may have been built without the correct amount of explosive. Airbag explosion or failure could occur.
2001:
Seat-latch anchor wire diameter may be wider than 6.1 mm, potentially inhibiting the installation of child restraints.
2002:
Airbag-inflator could fracture and possibly injure passengers.
2002-04:
Exposure to high ambient temperatures may lead to the fracture of the fuel tank inlet check valve. A fracture may allow fuel vapors to pass through and leak. Dealers will replace the fuel tank.
2003-04:
Owner's manual doesn't adequately explain child restraint anchorage system. Dealers will send vehicle owners a supplement to their manual.
2004:
Warning label attached to available second-row integral child restraint is incomplete.
