Recall date: Not reported
Units potentially affected: 321,000
NHTSA campaign number: 96V099000
Defective part or component: BRAKES:HYDRAULIC:ANTI-SKID SYSTEM
Description: THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT CAN EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE BRAKE ACTUATOR PISTON SEAL WEAR CAUSING PUMP-MOTOR DETERIORATION. 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. 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.
Recall date: Not reported
Units potentially affected: 1,100,000
NHTSA campaign number: 97V148000
Defective part or component: INTERIOR SYSTEMS:ACTIVE RESTRAINTS:BELT BUCKLES
Description: Vehicle Description: Passenger mini-vans. Covers on the solid stalk mounted seat belt buckles can become dislodged causing the release button to stick inside the cover. The buckle would then be only partially latched. In the event of a vehicle crash, the occupant may not be properly restrained increasing the risk of personal injury. Dealers will install a cover retaining clip to the stalk mounted buckle cover to prevent dislocation of the buckle cover.
Recall date: Not reported
Units potentially affected: 736,824
NHTSA campaign number: 99V113000
Defective part or component: INTERIOR SYSTEMS:PASSIVE RESTRAINT:AIR BAG
Description: Vehicle Description: Mini vans. The wiring that initiates the driver and/or passenger air bag could electrically short circuit to ground. A short circuit to ground that exists immediately after turning the ignition key to the ""ON"" or ""START"" position can cause the air bag(s) to inadvertently deploy. Inadvertent air bag deployment can injure a front seat occupant. Dealers will perform an electronic diagnostic check. Any short circuits identified in either the driver's or passenger side air bag initiator wire circuit will be repaired.
Recall date: Not reported
Units potentially affected: 828,559
NHTSA campaign number: 99V189000
Defective part or component: VISUAL SYSTEMS:WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE:PIVOT:DRIVE ASSEMBLY
Description: Vehicle Description: Minivans. The left hand windshield wiper pivot drive arm was not mechanically staked to the pivot shaft. This could allow the drive arm to disengage from the shaft leading to a loss of wiper function. The driver's visibility would be impaired, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the left hand side windshield wiper pivot assembly.
Recall date: Not reported
Units potentially affected: 1,318,189
NHTSA campaign number: 99V213000
Defective part or component: STRUCTURE:HATCHBACK HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
Description: Vehicle Description: Mini vans. The bolts used to attach the strut to the body and the rear liftgate can accumulate fatigue damage if three factors combine. If the bolt is loose, the gas strut is over-pressurized, and the frequency of opening and closing cycles is higher than for the average customer, the bolt can fail. Personal injury could occur if the bolts break allowing the liftgate to fall suddenly. Dealers will inspect for loose fasteners, if the fasteners are loose, the strut (and integral bolts) will be replaced. If the bolt shows evidence of torque, the bolt will be removed, larger washers will replace the existing washer and the bolt will be reinstalled and hand tightened to the target torqued.
