NHTSA Recall History

1998 w/automatic transmission: Securing pin inside transmission-control assembly of some trucks can loosen, allowing shift lever to be inadvertently moved out of the "Park" position with key in ignition.
1998 w/bucket seats: In frontal crash, front seatbelt can slip between seat and seatback-recliner handle, where it can be cut by sharp edge of lever.
1999-03 w/V6 engine: Fuel pump terminal on fuel-sending unit of vehicles in certain states may develop crack in plastic molding; if corrosion and breakage occur, fuel pump could stop operating, causing engine to stop running without warning or be unable to start.
1999-2000: Taillight socket may have been improperly molded, resulting in locking tab having insufficient force to retain bulb.
1999-2003: 6 cylinder vehicles may have a cracked fuel-sending unit, causing the fuel pump to break. Dealers will inspect and replace affected parts.
2001: Fuel-tank shutter valves may be faulty on certain vehicles, resulting in possible fuel leakage. Dealers will inspect and replace affected parts.
2002: Under certain conditions, on vehicles equipped with a supercharger, faulty airflow meters may have been installed, resulting in the illumination of the malfunction indicator lamp and decreased engine speed. Dealer will inspect and reprogram affected meters.
