Recall number 97V096001 · Recall details

Steering: gear box: shaft sectorReported October 8, 1996 · 144,598 vehicles affected
What is wrong
The intermediate steering shaft loosens at the steering shaft to steering gear coupling. With this looseness, the yoke pinch bolt can wear on the splines of the shaft until there is no longer an interference between the splines and the bolt.
Risk
This condition can cause body to chassis movement allowing the steering shaft to separate from the steering gear which can result in a loss of steering control.
Remedy
Dealers will retorque the upper and lower bolts to correct specifications.

Recall number 96V195000 · Recall details

Service brakes, hydraulic: power assist: vacuum: hoses, lines/piping, and fittingsReported November 21, 1994 · 30,263 vehicles affected
What is wrong
A vacuum hose can detach from the power brake booster check valve as a result of engine backfire.
Risk
This can result in increased engine idle and loss of power brake assist after depletion of the booster vacuum reserve.
Remedy
Dealers will install a clamp on the power brake booster assist.

Recall number 94V228000 · Recall details

Fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly: filler pipe and capReported January 26, 1994 · 117,200 vehicles affected
What is wrong
The fuel tank filler pipes were not manufactured to specification which caused loss of fuel between the fuel tank filler pipe and the vent tube during a test. The loss of fuel was in excess of the amount permitted by fmvss no. 301, "fuel system integrity."
Risk
Consequence of non-compliance: if a vehicle crash were to occur, it may cause the joint between the fuel tank filler pipes and the vent tube to crack. If the vehicle overturned, fuel leakage would occur, which could result in a post-crash fire.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the fuel filler pipe on these vehicles.
