    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.

  2. 96V082000Received . 16,918 units.

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

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    The four u-bolts nuts on either side of the rear axle were under-torqued.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Vehicle usage could cause the nuts to loosen and eventually fall off the u-bolt. This could result in sudden loss of vehicle control increasing the potential for a vehicle crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will check the u-bolt nut torque and re-torque any loose u-bolts to specification.

  3. 96V057000Received . 379,004 units.

    Vehicle Speed Control

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    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."
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Consequence of non-compliance: the engine speed may not return to idle increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    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.
