Summary
Vehicles located in the high corrosion provinces east of the Manitoba/Ontario border. Certain vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the frame/cradle retainer bolts pull through the retainers due to corrosion of the retainer. If both front bolts or both rear bolts pull through, the frame/cradle would not be properly supported and the intermediate steering shaft may separate from the steering gear. If this were to occur while the vehicle was in motion, a vehicle crash could result without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will replace the front and rear frame/cradle bolts and retainers. Note: This recall superceedes TC recall 1995-010.
Summary
On certain vehicles located in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island, extreme levels of moisture and salt can result in corrosion at or near the engine cradle mounts resulting in possible failure of the mounts. If failures occur at both rear mounts or both front mounts, movement of the cradle can cause separation of the steering intermediate shaft resulting in loss of steering control. Correction: Dealers will install reinforcement plates on repairable cradles, non repairable cradles will be replaced.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the rear engine cradle bolts may pull through due to corrosion of the retainers. If this should occur, the cradle would no longer be supported at these mounting locations and the steering shaft may separate from the steering gear. This could result in loss of steering control. Correction: Rear cradle bolts and retainers will be replaced.
Summary
NOTE: GRAND PRIX COUPE ONLY. THE ABILITY OF ALL THREE SETS OF HEADLAMPS (FOG LAMPS, LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS AND HIGH BEAM HEADLAMPS) TO BE OPERATED SIMULTANEOUSLY, MAY CAUSE THE HEADLAMP CIRCUIT BREAKER TO OVERLOAD AND "TRIP" RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF HEADLAMP OPERATION. CORRECTION: A NEW FOG LAMP RELAY, NEW CIRCUIT BREAKER AND NEW CIRCUIT BREAKER TERMINALS WILL BE INSTALLED. VEHICLE CIRCUITRY WILL ALSO BE MODIFIED TO PREVENT THE FOG LAMPS AND HIGH BEAM HEADLAMPS FROM OPERATING SIMULTANEOUSLY.
Summary
Certain vehicles do not comply with CMVSS 208 - Seatbelt Installations. Front door shoulder belt guide loops may not provide front seat occupants with proper protection in the event of a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect the front door shoulder belt guide loops for possible cracks. If a cracked guide loop is found, both front door guide loops will have reinforcing plates installed.
