AI groups complaints by meaning; the groups are approximate. Share ratio compares the problem’s share of this vehicle’s complaints with its share on other vehicles over the last 24 months (shown from 3 recent complaints). A 2× ratio means twice the complaint share, not twice the failure risk. Flags mark unusual shares or recent surges after an AI review of the complaint content. “First signal” does not mean the pattern has persisted continuously.How recall estimates are calculated.
Recalls
NHTSA recall #94V077000April 25, 1994232,988 vehicles affected
fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly: filler pipe and cap
The fuel filler neck solder joint Can develop cracks or pin hole leaks, which does not comply with FMVSS no. 301, "fuel system integrity." the cracks and holes Can allow fuel vapor and fuel leakage.

NHTSA recall #91V074000May 3, 1991173 vehicles affected
seats: front assembly: recliner
The front seat upper hinge cover screws are too long, and interfere with the seat back inertia lock. This prevents the seat back from locking properly.
In the event of a sudden stop or vehicle impact, anunlocked seat back would increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant.
Remedy

NHTSA recall #91V067000April 22, 199140,696 vehicles affected
seat belts: front: anchorage
The metal latchplates may not engage the buckle assemblies, causing a "no latch" condition. Movement of the seat occupant in this condition could cause latchplate release from the buckle.
Unbelted or incorrectly belted seat occupants aresubjected to increased risk of injury in the event of sudden stop or accident.
Remedy
Replace the retractor assembly for the safety belt (front and rear in coupes and front only in convertibles).
NHTSA recall #91V031000February 19, 199121 vehicles affected
visibility: windshield
