Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

STEERING:RACK AND PINION

Feb 7, 1995
1,057 units potentially affected
The defect: METRIC GRADE 8.8 BOLTS WERE MIXED IN INVENTORY WITH METRIC GRADE 10.9 BOLTS. INCORRECT GRADE BOLTS (8.8) WERE USED IN ATTACHING THE 710 SAGINAW STEERING GEAR TO THE FRAME.
The risk: THE USE OF INCORRECT BOLTS CAN CAUSE THE STEERING GEAR TO SEPARATE FROM THE FRAME CAUSING A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL, INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
The remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE ALL METRIC GRADE 8.8 BOLTS WITH THE CORRECT METRIC GRADE 10.9 BOLTS, LOCTITE WILL BE INSTALLED INTO THE BOLT HOLE, AND THE BOLTS WILL BE TORQUED TO SPECIFICATION.
