All recalls

Fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assemblyReported August 10, 1998 · 55,272 vehicles affected

What is wrong: Vehicle description: crew cab pickup trucks. The front, inner corner of the fuel tank can contact the body sill either intermittently or constantly. This movement can cause a discernible noise and, over time, can wear a hole in or crack the fuel tank at point of contact.
Risk: This condition can result in fuel leakage and a distinct fuel odor if the tank were filled above the level of the hole or crack. In the presence of an ignition source, a fire could result.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the fuel tank for wear and, either install a spacer between the fuel tank and the front crossmember, or if necessary, replace the fuel tank.

What is wrong: Vehicle description: light duty pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, 2 and 4-wheel drive. Solder joints near the wiring harness connector can crack causing the windshield wipers to work intermittently.
Risk: This condition can result in inoperative wipers, reducing a driver's visibility, and increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the wiper motor circuit board and cover.

Recall number 98V150001 · Recall details

SeatsReported March 7, 1997 · 624,433 vehicles affected

What is wrong: Vehicle description: extended cab and 2-door utility vehicles equipped with reclining seats and the easy-entry feature. These vehicles exhibit a condition in which a pinch point exists in the recliner mechanism that can trap and pinch a person's hand or finger(s) when the easy-entry feature is activated.
Risk: This pinching can cut the hand or possibly sever the finger(s) without prior warning.
Remedy: Dealers will install a protector cover over the recliner mechanism.

Recall number 97V037000 · Recall details

Vehicle speed controlReported April 4, 1996 · 379,004 vehicles affected

What is wrong: These vehicles were assembled with the throttle cable contacting the dash mat which could bind the throttle. This does not meet with the maximum return times required by federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 124, "accelerator control systems."
Risk: Consequence of non-compliance: the engine speed may not return to idle increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect for adequate throttle cable to dash mat clearance, and if there is insufficient clearance, cut out a portion of the dash mat to provide proper clearance.

Recall number 96V057000 · Recall details

Steering: steering wheel/handle barReported January 2, 1996 · 3,047 vehicles affected

What is wrong: The steering column upper intermediate-shaft nut may not be torqued to proper specifications. The nut could loosen and detach allowing the through-bolt that secures the upper intermediate-shaft to the lower steering column shaft joint to fall out.
Risk: This loose engagement can provide noticeable noise and abnormal steering feeling to the driver and, if left unattended, the steering shafts can separate resulting in a loss of steering control.
Remedy: Dealers will torque the suspect fasteners to the proper specifications.

Recall number 96V004000 · Recall details

Seat belts: frontReported December 13, 1995 · 630,099 vehicles affected

What is wrong: If both the lap-belt and shoulder-belt energy management loops on the front seat belt assemblies release at or near the same time, acceleration forces can cause the buckle release mechanism to activate and allow the buckle to separate from the latch.
Risk: If the buckle released, the system would fail to provide adequate occupant restraint protection.
Remedy: Dealers will remove the stitching that creates the energy management loop in the shoulder belt(s).

Recall number 95V241000 · Recall details

Seat belts: frontReported December 13, 1995 · 40 vehicles affected

What is wrong: These vehicles were built with front seat belt systems with no energy management loops and may not meet the head injury criteria requirements of fmvss no. 208, "occupant crash protection."
Risk: In the event of a vehicle crash, the occupants of these seats may not be properly restrained.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the retractor portion of the seat belt assembly(s) with one having the newly designed energy-management twin-loop system.
