    Steering / Linkages

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    The steering linkage assemby contains a relay rod tapered-stud attachment nut that was not torqued to proper specifications.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    The tapered stud can loosen and the driver would notice a lag in the responsiveness to steering wheel inputs. Eventually the relay rod stud can fracture resulting loss of steering control.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will remove the existing crimped nut and install a new nut torqued to specifications.

  2. 96V186000Received . 20,689 units.

    Electrical System / Wiring / Fuses and Circuit Breakers

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Water intrusion into the kick panel areas in front of both the driver and passenger doors can cause a corrosion path between the battery feed and the electrical ground.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    This condition can cause an electrical short leading to ignition and combusion of the plastics in the electrical components of the vehicle resulting in a vehicle fire.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will replace the 25 amp circuit breakers with 25 amp fuses in the fuse block; remove a temporary paper fuse-block cover; install a plastic shield over the fuse block; replace and reorient the power door lock relay (if equipped); inspect the remote keyless entry module (if equipped) for signs of corrosion, replace if corroded, and reorient it; and apply additional body sealer in key areas.

  3. 96V117000Received . 5,773 units.

    Tires / Bead

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    These tires have bead damage which occured during tire mounting.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    This damage to the tire reinforcing structure in the bead "toe" area causes a bulge in the sidewall after the tire is inflated. This condition will result in a slow air loss causing the tire to go flat. However, it is possible for the damage to result in a rapid air loss causing injuries to anyone if they were handling the tire when this occurred.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will demount each tire and inspect for bead damage. If bead damage is found, the tire will be replaced.

    Suspension / Rear / Springs / Leaf Spring Assembly / U-Bolt, Leaf Spring to Axle

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    One of the four rear axle u-bolts can break. This can potentially lead to the spring lifting from the axle under certain rebound, braking or cornering maneuvers.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    This condition could result in sudden loss of vehicle control increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will replace the four rear axle u-bolts on the affected vehicles.
