- [2003064](/recalls/tc/2003064.md), 2003-03-17: Other. Certain vehicles \(not involved in recall 98\-150\), may experience a windshield wiper failure due to cracked solder joints on the controller circuit board.  If this were to occur in a severe weather situation, driver's visibility could be reduced, which could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning.  Correction:  Dealer will replace defective wiper motor until 7 years or 112 000 km from date vehicle was originally placed into service or for those vehicles currently outside of this coverage, until March 31 2004.
- [2001097](/recalls/tc/2001097.md), 2001-04-17: Lights And Instruments. Certain vehicles fail to comply with requirements of CMVSS No. 208, "Occupant Crash Protection." The "fasten safety\-belt" audible warning occasionally may not come on or may terminate in less than four seconds as required by the standard. Correction: Dealers will install a new alarm module.
- [1998040](/recalls/tc/1998040.md), 1998-03-18: Emissions. Certain vehicles do not comply with CMVSS 1103 \- Exhaust Emissions. Vehicles may been built with the ignition coil wire too close to metal brackets or the transmission fluid fill tube \(M/L van only\). If the coil wire is too close to these metal objects, arcing may occur and cause failure of the wires which can in turn lead to a stalling/no start condition and/or catalytic converter failures. Correction: coil wire will be repositioned to assure adequate clearance from metal brackets and/or transmission fluid fill tubes.
