Complaint history

When NHTSA received these reports. Changes in reporting alone do not establish a change in failure rates.

Problems owners report

Listed groups have at least 3 complaints. The page includes the 20 largest groups plus any additional flagged groups; some complaints are not assigned to a group.

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 #96V118000July 1, 1996965 vehicles affected

  steering: steering wheel/handle bar

  The steering wheel center hub to spoke weld Can fracture.

  This condition will allow the steering wheel to separate from the steering column increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.

  Remedy

  Dealers will inspect the steering wheel for the suspect steering wheel lot date code and replace any found to have this suspect date.

• NHTSA recall #94V073001April 16, 199434,172 vehicles affected

  suspension: rear

  The right rear and left axle shaft housing tubes were incorrectly welded and Can fracture. Fracture of the rear axle shaft housing Can result in separation of the affected wheel assembly and separation of the brake line.

  Separation of the wheel assembly Can cause loss of vehicle control and separation of the brake line results in loss of one-half of the braking system, increasing stopping distance. In either case, an accident Can occur.

  Remedy

  Dealers will inspect the welds of the rear axle assemblies on involved vehicles and, if necessary, replace the complete rear axle assembly.

• NHTSA recall #94V016000January 21, 19942,502 vehicles affected

  steering: rack and pinion
