- [1988074](/recalls/tc/1988074.md), 1988-05-26: Electrical. On certain vehicles with an optional 700 amp battery, the front "three\-cell" vent cap of the battery may become dislodged by the vehicle's inner hood panel. A dislodged vent cap would permit hydrogen gas to escape from the battery. In the presence of an ignition source the hydrogen could explode.  Correction: "three\-cell" vent caps will be replaced with individual battery cell caps.
- [1988002](/recalls/tc/1988002.md), 1988-01-05: Powertrain. On certain vehicles, the automatic transmissions may contain a park sprag rod assembly that may stick in the tooth butt \(unengaged\) position. If this occurs the vehicle may roll from a parked position and cause a crash.  Correction: Vehicles will be inspected and suspect park sprag rod assemblies will be replaced.
