Recalls 3

Service brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slipReported June 13, 1996 · 321,000 vehicles affected
What is wrong
The ABS hydraulic control unit can experience excessive brake actuator piston seal wear causing pump-motor deterioration.
Risk
If this condition occurs, the ABS function could be lost and reduced power assist would be experienced during vehicle braking increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
Remedy
Dealers will test the vehicle's anti-lock brake system and repair the vehicles if necessary. Also the warranty on all ABS components will be extended to 10 years or 100,000 miles (except for the brake actuator piston assembly and the pump-motor assembly which will have a lifetime coverage). Owners will also be reimbursed for previous ABS component repair costs.

Remedy

Recall number 95V213000 · Recall details

Visibility: defroster/defogger/HVAC system: heater coreReported January 11, 1994 · 125,000 vehicles affected
What is wrong
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.
Risk
The coolant escaping into the passenger compartment could contact the driver's feet and injure the driver. Also, steam from the heater liquid will cloud on the window surfaces and impair the driver's vision. In either case, failure of the heater core end cap could result in a vehicle accident.
Remedy
A coolant temperature controlled heater core fluid bypass valve will be installed.
