By component
| 96V176000 | 1996-09-18. POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PARK PAWL SHAFT MAY NOT BE FREE TO ROTATE AS INTENDED. IF THE PARK PAWL SHAFT DOES NOT ROTATE, IT WOULD PREVENT THE PARK PAWL FROM ENGAGING THE PARK GEAR WHEN THE SHIFT LEVER IS IN THE PARK POSITION. Built 1995-04-07 to 1996-08-16. |
|---|---|
| 96V009000 | 1996-01-23. EXTERIOR LIGHTING. A DEFECTIVE CONTROL MODULE IN THE "AUTOLAMP" SYSTEM CAN MALFUNCTION. IF THE "AUTOLAMP" SYSTEM IS BEING USED TO ACTIVATE THE EXTERIOR LIGHT (INCLUDING HEADLAMPS), THE HEADLAMPS COULD SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THIS WILL NOT OCCUR IF THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING IS TURNED ON MANUALLY BY THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH. Built 1994-11-01 to 1995-11-01. |
| 1996148 | 1996-09-20. Powertrain. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE PARK MECHANISM MAY NOT PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING EVEN IF THE TRANSAXLE SHIFT LEVER IS FIRMLY PLACED IN THE "PARK" POSITION. IF THE DRIVER IS UNAWARE THAT THE PARK MECHANISM OF THE TRANSAXLE HAS NOT PROPERLY ENGAGED AND LEAVES THE VEHICLE UNATTENDED WITHOUT SETTING THE PARKING BRAKE, THE VEHICLE COULD BE FREE TO ROLL AS IF IN NEUTRAL. THIS COULD RESULT IN A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: PARK MECHANISM WILL BE INSPECTED AND, IF NECESSARY, A NEW PARK PAWL SHAFT WILL BE INSTALLED IN THE TRANSAXLE. |
|---|---|
| 1996019 | 1996-01-29. Lights And Instruments. A DEFECT IN THE AUTOLAMP SYSTEM MAY CAUSE THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS, INCLUDING THE HEADLIGHTS, TO SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THIS WOULD ONLY OCCUR WHILE THE AUTOLAMP FEATURE IS BEING USED. IF THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF BECAUSE OF AUTOLAMP MALFUNCTION, THE DRIVER CAN TURN THEM BACK ON BY MANUALLY ROTATING THE HEADLAMP SWITCH TO THE "ON" POSITION. CORRECTION: LIGHTING CONTROL MODULE WILL BE REPLACED. |
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.
