## United States (NHTSA), as of 2026-10-19

- [82V089000](/recalls/nhtsa/82V089000.md), 1982-09-21: SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE. THE INVOLVED VEHICLES DO NOT CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 210, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY ANCHORAGES".

- [82V076000](/recalls/nhtsa/82V076000.md), 1982-07-29: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY. FUEL TANK VENTILATOR VALVE IN THE FUEL SYSTEM MAY PRODUCE A LOUD AND PERSISTENT "WHISTLE" DURING VENTING OF THE TANK. IF THE FUEL FILLER CAP IS REMOVED WHILE THIS CONDITION EXISTS AND THE TANK IS MORE THAN 3/4 FULL, GASOLINE MAY BE FORCED OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ONTO BYSTANDERS. Built 1981\-07\-01 to 1982\-07\-01.

## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [1991063](/recalls/tc/1991063.md), 1991-04-17: Brakes. On certain vehicles, the parking brake system may contain a non\-functional parking brake adjuster.  This may result in a gradual loss of parking brake effectiveness as the rear disc pads wear.  As a result, the parking brake may not hold the vehicle on a steep incline.  If the vehicle is parked with the transmission in neutral or a forward gear, the vehicle may roll away and result in personal injury or property damage.  Correction:  A new parking brake adjuster will be installed.
- [1985007](/recalls/tc/1985007.md), 1985-01-10: Brakes. On certain vehicles, the rear brake backing plates may develop a corrosion condition which could result in loss of rear brake fluid and loss of rear braking capabilities.  This recall affects vehicles sold in the Maritime provinces only.
- [1982072](/recalls/tc/1982072.md), 1982-09-20. THE REAR SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY ANCHORAGES MAY PULL THROUGH THE UNDERBODY OF THESE VEHICLES IF SUBSTANTIAL FORCES WERE TO BE APPLIED IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH IN WHICH BELT RESTRAINT IS BEING USED.  THIS WOULD INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF INJURY TO THE WEARER OF THE SEAT BELT.
