ON VEHICLES WITH A PASSIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEM, THE FRONT SHOULDER   BELT RETRACTOR MAY NOT LOCK\-UP DURING A VEHICLE CRASH OR SUDDEN   STOP. SHOULD THIS HAPPEN, THE DRIVER AND/OR FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS   MAY BE RESTRAINED ONLY BY THE LAP BELT THEREBY INCREASING THE   POSSIBILITY OF INJURY. CORRECTION: FRONT SHOULDER BELT RETRACTORS AND BELT ASSEMBLIES   WILL BE REPLACED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
- [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.

CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE PRIMARY HOOD LATCH, THE   SECONDARY HOOD LATCH AND THE LATCH SUPPORT BRACKET.
- [1990035](/recalls/tc/1990035.md), 1990-02-21: 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. IF THE SECONDARY LATCH WAS NOT PROPERLY ENGAGED AND THE PRIMARY LATCH WERE TO DISENGAGE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE HOOD COULD UNEXPECTEDLY FLY OPEN AND OBSTRUCT THE DRIVER'S VISION. THIS COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: SECONDARY LATCH WILL BE INSPECTED FOR PROPER ADJUSTMENT AND ALL BENT LATCHES WILL BE REPLACED.
