- [90V001000](/recalls/nhtsa/90V001000.md), 1990-11-02: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH.

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

- [1991085](/recalls/tc/1991085.md), 1991-06-05: Engine. VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 2.3 LITRE ENGINE MAY HAVE A HOLE IN THE   PLATE OF THE DRIVE BELT TENSIONER WHICH MAY NOT HAVE THE   SPECIFIED DIMENSION. THIS MAY CAUSE THE SHAFT TO COME LOOSE AND   PREVENT DRIVE BELT OPERATION WHICH COULD AFFECT POWER STEERING   ASSIST, COOLANT CIRCULATION AND ALTERNATOR OUTPUT.  CORRECTION: DRIVE BELT TENSIONER WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPAIRED   IF NECESSARY.
- [1990042](/recalls/tc/1990042.md), 1990-03-06: Electrical. NOTE: VEHICLES WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION RESIDUE ON THE CIRCUIT CARD MAY CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE BACK\-UP LAMP CIRCUIT AND EVENTUAL OVERHEATING OF THE COMBINATION SAFETY/BACK\-UP LAMP SWITCH ASSEMBLY. IF THIS SHOULD OCCUR, SMOKE OR POSSIBLY A FIRE MIGHT DEVELOP FROM THE CENTER CONSOLE AREA IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. CORRECTION: AN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT, INCLUDING A RELAY, WILL BE ADDED TO THE BACK\-UP LAMP CIRCUIT. THIS WILL REDUCE THE MAXIMUM ELECTRIC CURRENT THAT CAN FLOW THROUGH THE COMBINATION SWITCH IN THE GEAR SELECTOR.
