NHTSA Recall History
1999:
Brake master cylinder on certain vehicles is oriented so warning statements are not entirely visible by direct view.
1999:
On certain vehicles, brake-fluid warning statement embossed on top of filler cap, and also on side of master-cylinder reservoir body, is not entirely visible by direct view.
1999-00:
Certain instrument clusters without a "message center" fail to comply with Federal safety requirements.
1999-01:
Auxiliary air-conditioning blower motor stops turning while in the medium-low blower speed setting, there is the potential that the resistor may become hot and smoke.
1999-01:
Wiper-motor gear case could malfunction and overheat, causing loss of wiper function or fire.
2000:
Certain minivans may have incorrect fuel-line end forms that result in insufficient pull-apart force for the fuel-line connection.
2000:
Some minivans may have incorrect urethane, resulting in an adhesive bond rather than the intended molecular bond for the front windshield and rear liftgate glass. If the bond deteriorates, it could provide less than the intended level of glass retention in a crash.
2000-01 w/adjustable pedals:
Driver's floormat could interfere with accelerator pedal, potentially resulting in stuck throttle.
2001:
Certain vehicles were built with a newly designed restraint-control module that, in some cases, does not recognize certain system faults that could result in airbag or seatbelt pretensioner unexpectedly activating during the self-test sequence at start-up time.
2001:
Driver- and/or font passenger-outboard seatbelt buckle may not fully latch.
2001:
Restraint-control module or crash sensor may have one or more screws missing, which could affect performance of occupant restraint.
2001-03:
Lower seat-to-floor latches on second- and third-row seats may fail in a crash, resulting in occupant injury.
