6 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.
77V112000 · Steering:Hydraulic Power Assist System
Reported: 1977-07-21 (July 21, 1977) · Model years: 1973, 1974
ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, THE RUBBER CAPS ON THE POWER STEERING PUMP MAY DETERIORATE. SHOULD THIS CONDITION OCCUR, FLUIDS FROM THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM COULD BECOME LOST. THIS SUDDEN LOSS OF FLUID MAY CAUSE LOSS OF POWER STEERING.

Reported: 1977-10-10 (October 10, 1977) · Model years: 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976
ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, THE FOUR STEERING CONTROL TUBES IN THE STEERING LINKAGE ASSEMBLY MAY BE SUBJECT TO FATIGUE FAILURE DUE TO LOW MATERIAL STRENGTH. SHOULD THIS FAILURE OCCUR, STEERING CONTROL WOULD BE SERIOUSLY LIMITED.
Remedy: DEALER WILL INSTALL IMPROVED STEERING CONTROL TUBES OF HIGHER MATERIAL STRENGTH AND INCREASED WALL THICKNESS, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.

Problems by model year
Model-wide comparison of the eight most reported components across the model. Cells show counts and shares within each model year. Open a cell for source examples.
| Component | 1973 | 1974 | 1975 | 1976 | 1977 | 1978 | 1979 | 1980 |

Darker cells indicate a larger share of submitted complaints. Components overlap. This measures complaint composition, not failure probability.
Failure mileage by component
Median and middle 50% of usable owner-reported mileages. Ranges require at least five records.

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.
1979: 0 complaints · 1980: 0 complaints
| Model year | Through age 0 | Through age 1 | Through age 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1979 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 1980 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Date coverage across each selected cohort
| Year | Incident dates used | Filing date fallbacks | Excluded dates |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1979 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 1980 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Incident date is preferred when valid and no later than filing; otherwise filing date is used. Model year approximates age. Equal observation time does not adjust for sales, distance driven or reporting delays. One complaint linked to multiple model years can appear in each cohort.
