- [1991129](/recalls/tc/1991129.md), 1991-09-19: Structure. THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH MAY NOT BE PROPERLY ADJUSTED, POSSIBLY   RESULTING IN THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH BECOMING BENT. A BENT   SECONDARY HOOD LATCH CAN LEAD TO A CONDITION WHERE FULL PRIMARY   LATCH ENGAGEMENT IS NOT ATTAINED RESULTING IN THE POSSIBILITY OF   HOOD FLY\-UP WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE PRIMARY HOOD LATCH, THE   SECONDARY HOOD LATCH AND THE LATCH SUPPORT BRACKET.
- [1989170](/recalls/tc/1989170.md), 1989-12-13: Structure. DOOR HINGE PINS MAY BREAK ON THESE VEHICLES THEREBY REDUCING THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY IN AN ACCIDENT.

- [1988040](/recalls/tc/1988040.md), 1988-03-17: Structure. THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH MAY NOT BE PROPERLY ADJUSTED WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE SECONDARY LATCH BECOMING BENT. A BENT SECONDARY LATCH COULD CONTACT THE PRIMARY LATCH RETURN SPRING PREDISPOSING IT TO DISENGAGE.
