AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
Summary
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. CORROSION OF THE AIR BAG INFLATOR'S INTERNAL WIRING, WHICH CAN OCCUR OVER TIME, COULD CAUSE THE INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG. THIS DEPLOYMENT COULD OCCUR DURING VEHICLE START-UP, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OR IDLING, OR WHILE IN OPERATION.
Potential Consequence
IF THE CONSUMER IS TOO CLOSE TO AN INFLATING AIR BAG, SERIOUS INJURIES COULD OCCUR.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE INFLATORS ON THESE AIR BAGS.
Seats And Restraints
Summary
Certain vehicles could experience inadvertent or non-crash driver front air bag deployment. This deployment could occur during vehicle startup, while the vehicle is parked or idling, or while in operation. Should the air bag deploy when the driver is up against or very close to the air bag, serious injuries could be sustained. Correction: Dealers will replace the driver side air bag module.
SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
Summary
THE CENTER REAR SEAT BELT ANCHOR PLATE EXHIBITS STRESS CRACKS.
Potential Consequence
IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE SEAT BELT SYSTEM CAN FRACTURE, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE SEAT OCCUPANT.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CENTER REAR SEAT BELT SYSTEM.
SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
Summary
THE CENTER REAR SEAT BELT ANCHOR PLATE EXHIBITS STRESS CRACKS.
Potential Consequence
IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE SEAT BELT SYSTEM CAN FRACTURE AND INJURY TO THE SEAT OCCUPANT CAN OCCUR.
Remedy

Seats And Restraints
Summary
Certain vehicles may have a centre rear seatbelt anchor plate which exhibits stress cracks. In the event of a vehicle crash, the seatbelt system may fracture and injury to the seat occupant could occur. Correction: Centre rear seat belt system will be replaced.
VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:SWITCH/WIRING
Summary
SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A STRAINED OR SEPARATED WASHER/WIPER SWITCH POWER FEED WIRE.
Potential Consequence
THIS CAN CAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WASHER/WIPER TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND COULD ULTIMATELY RESULT IN INOPERATIVE WIPERS. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR IN A SEVERE WEATHER SITUATION, DRIVER VISIBILITY COULD BE REDUCED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE OLD DESIGNED WASHER/WIPER SWITCHES WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED SWITCH.
Visual System
Summary
Certain vehicles may have a strained or separated washer/wiper power feed wire. This may cause the windshield washer/wiper to work intermittently and could ultimately result in inoperative wipers. This would result in reduced driver visibility during inclement weather conditions and a crash could occur. Correction: Windshield washer/wiper switch will be replaced with a redesigned switch.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Summary
INCORRECT CLEAR FRONT SIDE MARKER BULBS WERE INSTALLED RATHER THAN AMBER BULBS. THIS DOES NOT CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT."
Potential Consequence
CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: DURING ILLUMINATION, THE BULBS WILL SHOW CLEAR RATHER THAN AMBER AND COULD MOMENTARILY CONFUSE OTHER DRIVERS.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CLEAR BULBS WITH THE CORRECT AMBER BULBS.
Lights And Instruments
Summary
NOTE: INCLUDES COUPES ONLY AND DOES NOT INCLUDE 1993 REGAL GRAN SPORT. DEFECT: VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 108 - LIGHTING EQUIPMENT. THESE VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLED WITH INCORRECT FRONT SIDE-MARKER BULBS WHICH ARE CLEAR INSTEAD OF AMBER. DURING ILLUMINATION, THE BULBS WILL SHOW CLEAR RATHER THAN AMBER. CORRECTION: THE INCORRECT BULBS WILL BE REPLACED WITH THE CORRECT BULBS.
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
Summary
THE REAR WHEEL BRAKE HOSE(S) CAN CONTACT THE REAR SUSPENSION COMPONENTS CAUSING THE BRAKE HOSE(S) TO WEAR THROUGH.
Potential Consequence
THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND EVENTUAL LOSS OF THE VEHICLE BRAKING SYSTEM INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL INSPECT FOR PROPER BRAKE HOSE POSITION AND REPLACE THOSE HOSES IN AN INCORRECT POSITION WITH NEW HOSES AND CORRECTLY ROUTED.
Brakes
Summary
On certain vehicles, the rear wheel brake hose(s) may be contacting rear suspension components. This could cause the brake hose(s) to wear through, resulting in loss of brake fluid and eventual loss of the braking system. This could result in increased stopping distances and a possible crash without prior warning. Correction: Vehicles will be inspected and brake hoses found in the incorrect position will be replaced with new hoses and correctly routed.
Steering
Summary
THE FOUR (4) STEERING COLUMN SUPPORT BRACKET ATTACHING BOLTS ON THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN ASSEMBLED WITH LESS THAN THE SPECIFIED TORQUE. IF THE BOLTS ARE NOT PROPERLY TORQUED, THEY MAY VIBRATE AND BECOME LOOSE OR FALL OUT. IN THE EVENT OF A FRONTAL COLLISION, THIS CONDITION COULD COMPROMISE THE INTEGRITY OF THE STEERING COLUMN AND INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR OCCUPANT INJURY. CORRECTION: STEERING COLUMN SUPPORT BRACKET BOLTS WILL BE TORQUED TO THE CORRECT SPECIFICATION.
STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR
Summary
THE FOUR (4) STEERING COLUMN SUPPORT BRACKET ATTACHING BOLTS WERE UNDER TORQUED DURING ASSEMBLY.
Potential Consequence
INADEQUATE TORQUE CAN CAUSE THESE BOLTS TO VIBRATE, LOOSEN, OR FALL OUT RESULTING IN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL RETORQUE THE STEERING COLUMN SUPPORT BRACKET ATTACHING BOLTS TO THE CORRECT SPECIFICATIONS.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Summary
THE VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLED WITH AN INCORRECT FRONT PARK/TURN SIGNAL BULB WHICH DOES NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT CANDLE POWER. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT."
Potential Consequence
CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: OPERATORS COULD FAIL TO NOTICE AND HEED THE WARNING LABELS. REDUCES CANDLE POWER ON THE PARK/TURN LIGHTS DECREASES THE LIKLIHOOD OF VEHICLE OPERATOR'S INTENT BEING SEEN BY OTHER MOTORISTS.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE INCORRECT BULB WITH THE CORRECT BULB.
Lights And Instruments
Summary
NOTE: COUPES ONLY. THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S. 108 - LIGHTING. FRONT PARK/TURN SIGNAL BULB DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH CANDLE POWER. DURING ILLUMINATION, THE BULB INTENSITY MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO BE OBSERVED UNDER ALL CONDITIONS. CORRECTION: BULB WILL BE REPLACED WITH THE CORRECT BULB.
