93V2040001993-12-07. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS. AFTER THE ENGINE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF, THE REAR HEATER WILL AUTOMATICALLY OPERATE IN ORDER TO DISSIPATE HEAT IN THE ENGINE HEATING SYSTEM. DURING THIS OPERATION, THE RESISTOR FOR THE REAR HEATER BLOWER CAN BECOME OVERLOADED DUE TO A BINDING OR SEIZED REAR HEATER BLOWER. Built 1988-04-01 to 1992-01-01.

91V0120001991-01-15. LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH. LUGGAGE IN THE LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT AND OR PLASTIC TRIM SURROUNDING THE SAFETY LATCH MAY PREVENT THE LATCH ON THE FRONT HOOD FROM PROPERLY LOCKING. Built 1988-04-01 to 1989-12-01.
Canada: Transport Canada, as of 2026-10-19
19961201996-08-02. Steering. A PART OF THE STEERING COLUMN UPPER UNIVERSAL JOINT MAY HAVE DEVELOPED CRACKS DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. IF EXPOSED TO HIGH FORCES, SUCH AS FROM SINGLE SIDE CURB CONTACT, THE DEFECTIVE PART OF THE UNIVERSAL JOINT MAY DEVELOP EXCESSIVE TOLERANCES. THIS MAY RESULT IN NOISE AND FREE PLAY IN THE STEERING SYSTEM. IF UNCORRECTED, THE PART MAY FURTHER DETERIORATE AND EVENTUALLY RESULT IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. CORRECTION: UNIVERSAL JOINT WILL BE INSPECTED FOR CRACKS AND REPLACED IF NECESSARY.
19940041994-01-13. Electrical. THE REAR HEATER BLOWER RESISTOR CAN BECOME ELECTRICALLY OVERLOADED DUE TO A BINDING OR SEIZED REAR HEATER BLOWER. THE OVERLOADED RESISTOR CAN CREATE SUFFICIENT HEAT TO IGNITE THE PLASTIC AIR PIPE TO WHICH IT IS CONNECTED AND AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE COULD OCCUR. CORRECTION: A NEW RESISTOR WITH A CIRCUIT BREAKER WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
19921261992-10-05. Engine. ON VEHICLES WITH CRUISE CONTROL, THE PLASTIC BALL SOCKET ON THE CRUISE CONTROL LINKAGE CAN BREAK. IF THIS SHOULD OCCUR, THE CRUISE CONTROL LINKAGE MIGHT BECOME DETACHED ON ONE END AND COULD JAM ON NEARBY COMPONENTS. THIS COULD IMPAIR THE THROTTLE PLATE OPERATION AND PREVENT THE ENGINE FROM RETURNING TO IDLE WHICH COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. CORRECTION: NEW CRUISE CONTROL LINKAGE WITH STEEL BALL SOCKETS WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL RELAY LEVER WILL BE LUBRICATED.
19910151991-01-18. Structure. THE FRONT HOOD SAFETY LATCH MAY NOT PROPERLY LOCK DUE TO POSSIBLE INTERFERENCE FROM LUGGAGE WITHIN THE COMPARTMENT AND/OR A PLASTIC TRIM PIECE SURROUNDING THE LATCH. IF THE SAFETY LATCH IS NOT PROPERLY LOCKED, AND IF THE FRONT HOOD IS LEFT UNLOCKED OR IS MISTAKENLY OPENED WHILE DRIVING, THE FRONT HOOD COULD OPEN, OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S FORWARD VISION AND RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. CORRECTION: PLASTIC TRIM PIECE WILL BE REPLACED AND A BRACKET WILL BE INSTALLED BEHIND THE SAFETY LATCH TO PREVENT INTERFERENCE BY LUGGAGE OR OTHER OBJECTS.

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.
