87V1240001987-08-10. STRUCTURE. SMALL CRACKS MAY DEVELOP IN THE BODY PILLAR AROUND THE DOOR STRIKER BOLT HOLE. Built 1984-08-01 to 1985-06-01.
86V0300001986-02-21. VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:SPRINGS. THE THROTTLE RETURN SPRING ASSEMBLY MAY FAIL PREVENTING THE THROTTLE FROM RETURNING TO THE CLOSED (IDLE) POSITION WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: ENGINE SPEED MAY NOT DECREASE AND LOSS OF ACCELERATOR CONTROL COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. Built 1984-06-01 to 1985-04-01.
84V1460001984-11-20. VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:SWITCH/WIRING. THE SWITCH USED MAY NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE WIPER MOTOR. THIS SYSTEM, ALTHOUGH FUNCTIONAL, IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 104, "WINDSHIELD WIPING AND WASHING SYSTEM". THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SPEED MAY REMAIN NEARLY CONSTANT WHETHER IN HIGH OR LOW SPEED MODE. THE STANDARD REQUIRES THAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIGH AND LOW SPEED MUST BE AT LEAST 15 CYCLES PER MINUTE TO ACCOMODATE A VARIETY OF RAIN, SNOW, OR WHEEL SPRAY CONDITIONS. Built 1984-08-01 to 1984-09-01.
84V1240001984-10-10. STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY. THE TIE RODS ARE PART OF THE STEERING LINKAGE AND TRANSMIT TURNING MOVEMENTS TO THE WHEELS. THE BOLTS THAT FASTEN THE TIE RODS TO THEIR ADJUSTERS MAY NOT BE TIGHT ENOUGH. THIS COULD ALLOW THE TIE ROD TO LOOSEN AND DETACH ITSELF FROM THE ADJUSTER. Built 1984-04-01 to 1984-09-01.
Canada: Transport Canada, as of 2026-10-19
19870821987-08-07. Structure. ON TWO DOOR MODELS, CRACKS MAY DEVELOP IN THE BODY PILLAR AROUND THE DOOR STRIKER BOLT HOLE. IF UNCORRECTED, THE CRACKS WOULD PROPOGATE SUCH THAT THE DOOR WOULD OPEN IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: REINFORCEMENT PLATES WILL BE INSTALLED ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT BODY PILLARS.
19860261986-02-20. THE CARBURETOR RETURN SPRING ASSEMBLY MAY FAIL. THIS COULD PREVENT THE DECELERATION OF THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THE DRIVER HAS REMOVED HIS FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. LOSS OF ACCELERATOR CONTROL COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
19850611985-05-14. THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 215-BUMPERS.
19850121985-01-11. THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH CMVSS 1101 - EMISSION DEVICE.
19841211984-10-05. VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLED WITH INADEQUATE CLAMP LOAD ON THE TIE ROD ADJUSTER. THIS WOULD ALLOW THE TIE ROD TO LOOSEN AND SEPARATE FROM THE TIE ROD ADJUSTER. TIE ROD SEPARATION COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.

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.
