By component
| 93V129000 | 1993-08-02. SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS. AN ENGINE PREHEATING TUBE MAY NOT BE PROPERLY SUPPORTED DUE TO A MISSING SUPPORT BRACKET, CAUSING THE PREHEATING TUBE TO CHAFE AGAINST THE RIGHT FRONT METAL BRAKE LINE. THIS CAN DAMAGE THE HYDRAULIC LINE, CAUSING BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE AND DIMINISHED BRAKING IN ONE BRAKE CIRCUIT. Built 1987-08-01 to 1991-07-01. |
|---|---|
| 92V058000 | 1992-04-14. FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS. THE FUEL HOSE ATTACHED TO THE FUEL DISTRIBUTION RAIL ON THE ENGINE MAY SHRINK BEYOND THE CLAMP FORCE OF THE FUEL HOSE CLAMPS, ALLOWING FUEL TO LEAK. Built 1985-07-01 to 1992-06-01. |
| 92V050000 | 1992-04-14. VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:HEATER CORE. THE END CAP CONNECTING THE HEAT EXCHANGER'S CORE TO THE ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM COULD RUPTURE AND ALLOW HOT COOLANT TO ESCAPE INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. Built 1984-08-01 to 1990-01-01. |
| 90V142000 | 1990-08-06. SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:CALIPER. OMISSION OF AIR DUCTS INTENDED TO GUIDE FLOW OF COOLING AIR TO LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS COULD ALLOW BRAKE FLUID TO EXCEED ALLOWABLE OPERATING TEMPERATURE UNDER CERTAIN OPERATING CONDITIONS. Built 1990-02-01 to 1990-06-01. |
| 90V007000 | 1990-01-22. STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM. POWER STEERING PUMP BRACKET IS SUBJECT TO BREAKAGE DUE TO EXCESSIVE TENSION CAUSED BY A LACK OF CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE PUMP MOUNTING BRACKET AND SEALING FLANGE EDGE OF THE OIL PAN. Built 1989-08-01 to 1989-11-01. |
| 1997038 | 1997-02-18. Engine. NOTE: GASOLINE POWERED FUEL INJECTED VEHICLES. DURING WINTER PERIODS OF LOW TEMPERATURE WITH HIGH HUMIDITY, THE AIR PRE-HEATING SYSTEM MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO PREVENT THROTTLE ICING DURING LONG DISTANCE DRIVING DUE TO PRE-HEATER VACUUM SWITCH CONTAMINATION. THIS COULD PREVENT THE THROTTLE FROM RETURNING TO THE IDLE POSITION WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED. CORRECTION: A DE-ICING KIT WILL BE INSTALLED IN AFFECTED VEHICLES. |
|---|---|
| 1993132 | 1993-09-22. Fuel System. FUEL LEAKAGE MAY OCCUR AT THE FUEL HOSE TO FUEL RAIL CONNECTION.

| 1992149 | 1992-11-23. Structure. CORROSION DUE TO ROAD SALT MAY PREVENT THE HOOD LATCH AND THE SAFETY CATCH FROM WORKING PROPERLY. THIS COULD RESULT IN HOOD FLY-UP WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION RESULTING IN OBSCURED DRIVER VISION AND A POSSIBLE CRASH. CORRECTION: OWNERS OF AFFECTED VEHICLES WILL BE ADVISED BY MAIL REGARDING THE NECESSITY FOR PERIODIC LUBRICATION OF THE ENGINE HOOD LATCH MECHANISM. DEALERS WILL BE ADVISED TO LUBRICATE THE ENGINE HOOD MECHANISM WHENEVER AN AFFECTED VEHICLE IS BEING SERVICED. |
| 1992057 | 1992-05-11. Heater And Defroster. IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE WALL OF THE END CAP CONNECTING THE HEAT EXCHANGER'S CORE TO THE ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM COULD RUPTURE AND ALLOW HOT COOLANT TO ESCAPE.

| 1990103 | 1990-07-04. Fuel System. VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH AN INCORRECT FUEL PUMP WHICH HAS A LOWER OUTPUT AND COULD LEAD TO REDUCED ENGINE POWER UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. REDUCED ENGINE POWER DURING VEHICLE MANEUVERS SUCH AS PASSING, COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: FUEL PUMP WILL BE REPLACED WITH THE CORRECT VERSION. |
| 1990012 | 1990-01-23. Steering. ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 16 VALVE ENGINES, EXCESSIVE TENSI0N COULD CAUSE THE POWER STEERING PUMP BRACKET TO BREAK WHICH WOULD LOOSEN THE PUMP AND AND ALLOW THE DRIVE BELT TO SLIP. AS A RESULT, THE STEERING FORCE NEEDED TO MANOEVER THE VEHICLE COULD UNEXPECTEDLY INCREASE RESULTING IN POSSIBLE LOSS OF DRIVER CONTROL AND A VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: POWER STEERING PUMP BRACKET 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.
