NHTSA Recall History
1997-05 w/second-row bucket seats or captainÕs 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 w/passenger-side sliding door:
Door closes but may not be latched. If this happens, the sliding door can open while the vehicle is in motion.
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.
1999 Montana:
Driver's-side-airbag inflator module could explode on deployment because of excessive internal pressure.
2000:
Some seatbelt assemblies were not properly heat treated and do not pass the load-bearing requirement.
2001 Montana:
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:
Driver side-airbag inflator could fracture during deployment, increasing the risk of serious injury.
2002-03:
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.
2005:
In a side-impact crash, outboard release handle on impact-side second-row bucket seat may be actuated, and rear latches may unlatch early.
2005:
When parking brake is released, driver may notice unintended braking when accelerating, decelerating, or coasting; may also be noise from rear of vehicle.
