NHTSA Recall History

1998: Certain off-lease vehicles, Canadian in origin but sold in the U.S., have daytime running lights that do not meet U.S. specifications.
1998: Main battery cable can contact body panel in trunk, resulting in damage to cable insulation that could lead to short circuit, loss of electrical supply, or fire.
1998: Text and/or graphics for headlamp-aiming instructions, provided in owner guides, are not sufficiently clear.
1998-02: Cruise-control deactivation switch on some vehicles may overheat, smoke, or burn; fire at switch could occur.
1998-2000: Bolts that attach trailer-hitch assembly to frame could lose their clamp load; hitch could then separate from vehicle.
1999 w/4WD and 17-inch chrome steel wheels: Clamp load can be lost on wheel lugs, due to insufficient wheel contact area with hub; in some cases, contact area can deform, resulting in loss of lug-nut torque that can cause vibration or separation of wheel/tire from vehicle.
1999: Fuel-line assemblies on some vehicles may have been damaged by supplier during manufacture, allowing leakage.
1999: Retainer clip that holds master-cylinder pushrod to brake-pedal arm may be missing or partially installed, causing increased stopping distances.
2000: Cruise-control deactivation switch on some vehicles may overheat, smoke, or burn; fires have occurred while vehicle was parked with ignition "off."
2000-01: A switch located in the plastic cover of the wiper-motor gear case could malfunction and overheat, potentially resulting in loss of wiper function or fire.
2000-01: Some of the owner's manuals for these vehicles are missing instructions for properly attaching a child restraint system.
2001: Driver- and/or front passenger-outboard seatbelt buckle may not fully latch. In the event of a crash, the restraint system may not provide adequate occupant protection.
