Safety Recalls & Notices
We found 1 safety recall for the 1988 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight. Recalls are sourced from both NHTSA (US) and Transport Canada databases. Contact your authorized Oldsmobile dealer to schedule free repairs.
On certain vehicles, a clip on the shifter mechanism inside the console may become dislodged preventing indication of the correct gear under conditions of darkness. Also, the clip could bind part of the shifter mechanism in a way which would prevent the gear detents from operating; hence an inadvertent bump of the shifter could place the shifter in an undesired gear position. Both of these conditions could occur without prior warning and cause an accident. Correction: Dealers will replace the clip, transmission shift indicator slot.
