NHTSA Recall History
1999-01:
Airbag alert labels may not be permanently affixed as required.
1999-03:
If drivers change tires seasonally, rust may build up on the steel tire, causing grinding and the fracturing of the wheel bolts. Dealer will inspect and replace affected parts.

Overheating and burnout of isolated gated bipolar transistor may occur, most often at engine start-up.

The fuel pump retaining tabs holding the fuel lines were damaged during production. Over time, this could cause the fuel lines to loosen from the pump resulting in fuel leakage. Dealers will install a bracket that will secure the fuel lines to the fuel pump.

Engine stalling may occur due to a faulty ignition discharge module. Dealers will inspect and replace affected parts.
