    Seat Belts / Front / Buckle Assembly

    Defect, in the NHTSA record

    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    This condition can cause the seat belt tongue to come out of the buckle in the event of a collision or hard braking of the vehicle increasing the risk of personal injury to an occupant of the seat.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will inspect the buckle and, if necessary, replace the buckle assembly with a new buckle. Owner notification is expected to begin during mid-december 2002.

    Engine and Engine Cooling / Engine

    Defect, in the NHTSA record

    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    This can cause engine damage and possible engine fire from oil leaking onto the hot exhaust system.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will install camshaft end seal plug retainer plates.
