Seat belts Vehicle recall #96V083000 · 1996 · 79,000 vehicles
What's wrong: A harness connector protector located near the seat belt pre-tensioner can ignite due to the proximity to the combustion gas generated by the pre-tensioner when the device is triggered.
Why it matters: A fire can occur in the passenger compartment of these vehicles.
The fix: Dealers will replace the harness connector protectors with ones having sufficient resistance to the combustion gas of the pre-tensioners when activated.
Fuel system Vehicle recall #97V072000 · 1997 · 85,000 vehicles
What's wrong: Corrosion of the fuel filler tube assembly can occur, especially those vehicles operated in the "salt belt," resulting in fuel leakage.
Why it matters: Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the fuel filler tube and replace the tube with a new one. Any other components of the fuel filler tube assembly which are damaged or deteriorated will also be replaced.
