Recall history

9 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.

83V107000 · Service Brakes, Hydraulic:Foundation Components:Hoses, Lines/Piping, And Fittings

Reported: 1983-10-13 (October 13, 1983) · Model years: 1983, 1984

THE RIGHT FRONT CROSSOVER PIPE, WHICH CARRIES BRAKE HYDRAULIC FLUID, MAY BREAK AND LEAK FLUID. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE RIGHT FRONT FENDER SKIRT CONTACTS THE PIPE AND VIBRATION CAUSES THE PIPE TO WEAR THROUGH.

Remedy: IF THE POSITION AND CLEARANCE OF THE BRAKE PIPE ARE INCORRECT, THE FENDER SKIRT WILL BE ADJUSTED AND A REPLACEMENT PIPE WILL BE INSTALLED.

84V011000 · Seats:Front Assembly:Recliner

Reported: 1984-02-06 (February 6, 1984) · Model years: 1984

SOME VEHICLES HAVE BUCKET SEAT BACK LOCKS THAT DO NOT CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD 207, ANCHORAGE OF SEATS. IN EVENT OF A CRASH, THE SEAT BACK LOCK MAY NOT FUNCTION.

Remedy: INSPECTION OF SEAT BACK LOCKS WILL BE PERFORMED. LOCKS THAT HAVE BENT, BROKEN OR MISSING HOOKS WILL BE REPLACED.

NHTSA campaign record ↗
86V140000 · Equipment:Other:Labels

Reported: 1986-10-21 (October 21, 1986) · Model years: 1986

TIRE AND WHEEL INFORMATION ON CERTIFICATION LABEL MAY BE INCORRECT. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: TRUCKS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH FMVSS 120.

Remedy: INSTALL CERTIFIED LABEL WITH CORRECT INFORMATION.

NHTSA campaign record ↗
90V107000 · Visibility:Windshield

Reported: 1990-06-04 (June 4, 1990) · Model years: 1991

USE OF IMPROPER PRIMER ON METAL SURFACES OF WINDSHIELD AND SIDE WINDOW OPENINGS COULD CAUSE LOW ADHESION TO THE METAL SURFACE AND WOULD NOT PROVIDE RETENTION REQUIRED BY FMVSS 212.

Consequence: WINDSHIELD AND SIDE WINDOW GLASS WOULD NOT PREVENT THEEJECTION OF VEHICLE OCCUPANTS DURING A VEHICLE CRASH, WHICH CAUSES SERIOUSINJURIES AND FATALITIES.

Remedy: REMOVE AND REINSTALL GLASS USING PROPER PRIMER.

NHTSA campaign record ↗
90V193000 · Suspension:Front:Control Arm:Lower Arm

Reported: 1990-11-14 (November 14, 1990) · Model years: 1991

NUTS USED TO ATTACH LOWER CONTROL ARMS, REAR SPRING AND SHACKLE, AND REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS DO NOT MEET SPECIFICATIONS AND COULD "STRIP".

Consequence: STRIPPING OF THE NUTS IN THE REAR SUSPENSION COULD REDUCECLAMP LOAD ON LOWER CONTROL ARM, WHICH COULD ALLOW THE ARM TO DETACH, RESULTINGIN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.

Remedy: REPLACE LOWER CONTROL ARM ATTACHMENT NUTS AS WELL AS REAR SPRING AND SHACKLE, AND REAR SHOCK ABSORBER NUTS.

NHTSA campaign record ↗
91V108000 · Fuel System, Gasoline:Storage

Reported: 1991-06-21 (June 21, 1991) · Model years: 1991

VEHICLES HAVE BEEN SHIPPED WITH THE FUEL TANK SENDER SEAL OUT OF POSITION.

Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF ROLLOVER ACCIDENT, AN OUT OF POSTIONSEAL COULD ALLOW FUEL SPILLAGE IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNT PRESCRIBED BY FMVSS 301.SPILLED FUEL COULD IGNITE NEAR AN IGNITION SOURCE.

Remedy: REPLACE SENDER SEALS.

NHTSA campaign record ↗
93V105000 · Seat Belts:Front:Anchorage

Reported: 1993-06-21 (June 21, 1993) · Model years: 1993

THE OUTBOARD REAR SAFETY BELT ASSEMBLY WILL NOT RELEASE THE WEBBING FROM THE RETRACTED POSITION. THIS DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS 209, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES."

Consequence: IF THE OUTBOARD REAR SAFETY BELT ASSEMBLY WILL NOTRELEASE THE WEBBING FROM THE RETRACTED POSITION, SAFETY BELT USE FOR THE SEATOCCUPANT IS IMPOSSIBLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY IN AN ACCIDENT.

Remedy: REPLACE ANY BELT THAT DOES NOT FREELY EXTEND FROM THE RETRACTED POSITION.

NHTSA campaign record ↗
94V093000 · Power Train:Automatic Transmission

Reported: 1994-05-16 (May 16, 1994) · Model years: 1993

SIGNIFICANT WEAR CAN DEVELOP ON THE LOW AND REVERSE CLUTCH PREVENTING THE PARK PAWL FROM ENGAGING. THIS CAN PREVENT A "NO PARK" CONDITION TO OCCUR WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, CAUSING UNINTENTIONAL MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT OPERATOR ACTION. (THE "NO PARK" CONDITION WILL NOT OCCUR WHILE THE ENGINE IS OFF.)

Consequence: UNINTENTIONAL VEHICLE MOVEMENT COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT AND INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE PATH OF THE VEHICLE.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID FOR CONTAMINATION WHICH WILL INDICATE IF THE LOW OR REVERSE CLUTCH IS WORN. IF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID SHOWS CONTAMINATION, THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE REPLACED.

NHTSA campaign record ↗
00V228003 · Seat Belts

Reported: 2000-08-07 (August 7, 2000) · Model years: 2000, 2001

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES, LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS, SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, AND MINI VANS EQUIPPED WITH TRW SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLIES. THE BUCKLE BASE OF THESE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES WERE NOT PROPERLY HEAT TREATED AND THEREFORE DO NOT PASS THE LOAD BEARING REQUIREMENT OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 209, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES."

Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY DATE CODES AND, IF NECESSARY, WILL REPLACE ANY SAFETY BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY.

2000 S10 4WD ZR2. YESTERDAY I DECIDED TO CHECK WHAT I HAD THOUGH TO BE A LEAKING OIL FILTER. TO MY SURPRISE MY OIL FILTER WAS TIGHT BUT I HAD OIL ALL OVER THE TOP OF MY SKID PLATE (ZR2 S10), THE BLOCK AND MY OIL LINES. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT LEAKING OIL LINES ON THE REMOTE FILTER IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON FOUR WHEEL DRIVE S-10'S. I ALSO LEARNED THAT I WAS ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES THAT DID NOT HAVE THESE LINES COME LOSE AND DESTROY THE ENGINE. I ALSO LEARNED ABOUT REDESIGNED OIL LINES THAT GM CAME UP WITH. THIS MEANS THAT GM…

BOUGHT A 95' T10 BLAZER TO PULL MY LITTLE BOAT BUT EVERY TIME I TAKE IT ABOVE 55 MPH THE EGR VALVE GETS CARBON STUCK IN IT AND MY BRAKING SYSTEM FAILS. I HAVE TALKED TO CHEVY AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME EXCEPT TAKE THE INTAKES OFF AND BLOW THEM OUT (500$). BUT I HAVE READ COUNTLESS REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO BLAZER OWNERS AFTER THERE 95' WAS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD. I WISH CHEVY WOULD FELL SOME REMORSE AND FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.*JB

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
