|---|---|
| 98V245000 | 1998-10-06. SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE FOLLOWING "SALT BELT" STATES: CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, IOWA, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, WEST VIRGINIA, AND WISCONSIN. DURING WINTER MONTHS, THE ROAD SALT USED TO DE-ICE ROADS CAN RESULT IN CORROSION THAT CAUSES PITS TO FORM ON THE LOWER COIL OF THE FRONT SPRINGS ALLOWING CRACKS TO DEVELOP. THIS CAN RESULT IN BREAKAGE OF THE LOWER SPRING COIL. Built 1994-05-01 to 1996-11-11. |
| 97V026000 | 1997-02-26. VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BREAKER ELECTRICAL CONTACTS WERE CONTAMINATED DURING ASSEMBLY. Built 1996-03-04 to 1996-10-18. |
| 96V113000 | 1996-07-01. SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARM. THROUGH CONTACT WITH ROAD HAZARDS AND CURBS, THE LOWER CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLY CAN SHIFT FROM ITS ORIGINAL POSITION. Built 1994-08-01 to 1996-03-01. |
| 2003140 | 2003-05-23. Suspension. On certain vehicles, road de-icing salt used during winter months may result in corrosion of the lower plate or the front lower control arm. Corrosion may proceed to the point where the lower plate becomes perforated and the front lower control arm fractures between its forward and rearward pivot attachments to the chassis. If the front lower control arm fractures, the wheel assembly may be allowed to move rearward in the wheel well opening during braking. Reduced control of the front wheel location may increase the risk of a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealer will replace the front lower control arm. |
|---|---|
| 1998210 | 1998-10-22. Suspension. On certain vehicles, corrosion from winter road salt may cause pits to form on the lower coil of the front springs. These pits may allow cracks to develop, which can result in the breakage of the lower spring coil. If the front coil spring breaks, it may become displaced from its seated position and cause damage to a tire which in turn could result in loss of vehicle control. Correction: A spring guide will be installed which will prevent a broken coil from contacting and damaging a tire. |
| 1997045 | 1997-03-10. Visual System. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BREAKER ELECTRICAL CONTACTS MAY BE CONTAMINATED WITH SOLDERING FLUX. THIS CONTAMINATION COULD INTERFERE WITH THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT CONTINUITY AND PREVENT THE WIPER MOTOR FROM OPERATING. INOPERATIVE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAN CONTRIBUTE TO REDUCED VISIBILITY DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER WHICH MAY IN TURN RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: CONTAMINANTS WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BREAKER CONTACTS. |
| 1995209 | 1995-11-21. Suspension. NOTE: ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES WERE REPAIRED PRIOR TO DELIVERY. THE LEFT HAND AND/OR RIGHT HAND REAR AXLE CARRIER (SPINDLE) MAY HAVE BEEN MACHINED INCORRECTLY. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE HUB BEARING INNER RACE NOT SEATING CORRECTLY ON THE AXLE CARRIER. AFFECTED VEHICLES COULD EXPERIENCE ONE OR ALL OF THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS: (1) EXCESSIVE BEARING NOISE; (2) ABNORMAL WHEEL VIBRATION; (3) REDUCED HUB BEARING LIFE EXPECTANCY. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND AXLE CARRIERS REPLACED AS REQUIRED. |
A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
