Certain vehicles fail to conform to CMVSS 209, seat belt assemblies. These vehicles have a condition where one or two sensors in the driver's and front seat passengers seat belt retractors may be inoperative. The seat belt retractors will lock when the belt webbing is extracted during a crash; however the mechanism that locks the seat belt retractor when the vehicle decelerates quickly, such as during heavy braking, may not restrain the occupant as intended during a crash, and could result in injury to the occupant. Correction: Dealers will inspect the seat belt assemblies to determine proper vehicle sensor function, and replace them if necessary. - [2004088](/recalls/tc/2004088.md), 2004-03-09: Brakes. On certain vehicles, the brake hoses are not labelled with a designation that identifies the manufacturer of the assembly as required by CMVSS 106. This non\-compliance has no effect on the performance of the involved brake hose assemblies. Correction: Since this does not pose a safety risk, no corrective action is required. - [2004045](/recalls/tc/2004045.md), 2004-02-04: Electrical. On certain vehicles, water may seep into the windshield wiper module. If this were to happen, it could result in windshield wipers that will not turn on, cease operation while driving, fail to turn off, turn on by themselves, and/or continuous windshield washer pump operation. Improper operation of the windshield wiper system in a severe weather situation could reduce the driver's visibility, resulting in a possible vehicle crash without prior warning. Correction: Dealer will install a Gore\-Tex patch over the windshield wiper module vent\-hole. The wiper motor, circuit board, and electrical connector will be inspected for signs of water intrusion and/or corrosion and replaced as required. - [2003048](/recalls/tc/2003048.md), 2003-02-25: Powertrain. Certain vehicles fail to conform to CMVSS 114 \- Theft Protection. These vehicles are equipped with a mechanical override that could allow the ignition key to be removed with the shift lever in a position other than park. In addition, these vehicles have an override that can allow the transmission to be shifted out of park with the ignition in the off position. These overrides are not permitted unless the vehicle has a locking steering column and the overrides have covers that can only be removed with a screwdriver or other tool. Correction: Dealers are to eliminate these conditions by disabling the overrides. - [2002151](/recalls/tc/2002151.md), 2002-08-13: Airbag. Certain vehicles may have a driver's side airbag inflator that could fracture at a weld during a deployment. Pieces of the inflator could strike and injure vehicle occupants and the airbag cushion would not inflate fully, reducing the capacity of the bag to protect the driver. Correction: Dealers are to inspect and if necessary replace the driver side airbag module assembly. - [2002070](/recalls/tc/2002070.md), 2002-05-01: Fuel System.

The calibration of the active transfer case control module may cause insufficient high speed gear engagement. If the gear is not engaged, the vehicle can roll when the transmission is in "park" and a crash could result without warning. Correction: dealers are to reprogram the active transfer case control module \(ATCM\) calibration to increase gear engagement. - [2001252](/recalls/tc/2001252.md), 2001-10-22: Powertrain. Certain sport utility vehicles Trailblazer and GMC Envoy \(4 wheel\-drive\). The calibration of the automatic transfer case control module or a range shift collar that was not machined properly may cause insufficient high speed gear engagement. If the gear is not engaged, the vehicle can roll when the transmission is in "Park" and a crash could result without warning . Correction: Dealers are to perform a "clean neutral" test, as described in the bulletin and if the ratcheting noise is detected during the test, the dealers are to replace the transfer case. - [2001226](/recalls/tc/2001226.md), 2001-09-05: Powertrain. Certain 4WD vehicles were built with a range shift collar in the transmission transfer case that contains cracks. This condition could result in a complete fracture of the range shift collar and subsequent loss of vehicle forward and reverse gears, and the inability to maintain "park" position. This increases the risk of a vehicle crash resulting from unintended movement of a parked vehicle. Correction: Dealers will replace the transfer cases and update the control module calibration. - [2001129](/recalls/tc/2001129.md), 2001-05-22: Other. Certain vehicles fail to comply with requirements of CMVSS 201, "Occupant Protection." These vehicles have a console cover/armrest lid latch that could release at less than the 10g vertical load requirement of the standard. In the event of a crash, the console cover could open and the cover or items stored under it could injure an occupant. Correction: Dealers will replace the console latch mechanism and install a separate striker plate. - [2001098](/recalls/tc/2001098.md), 2001-04-19: Suspension. On certain vehicles, either front lower control arm brackets may fracture, which could result in separation of the front lower control arm from the frame. This could result in loss of vehicle control, and a crash without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will replace the left and right front lower control arm brackets. ## Check a VIN - [NHTSA recall lookup by VIN, United States](https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls) - [Transport Canada recall search, Canada](https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng) Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada.
