Year-by-year records
Recall history
3 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.
77V178000 · Vehicle Speed Control:Accelerator Pedal
Reported: 1977-10-14 (October 14, 1977) · Model years: 1976, 1977
THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ROD IN COMBINATION WITH THE PEDAL INSTALLED ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY CUT THROUGH THE FLOOR PAN RUBBER MAT OR CARPET INTO THE THICK RESILIENT INSULATION PAD UNDERNEATH DURING HEAVY OR REPEATED FULL THROTTLE APPLICATIONS. AS A RESULT, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ROD MAY CATCH IN THE MAT OR CARPET, PREVENTING THE THROTTLE FROM RETURNING TO IDLE WHEN THE DRIVER"S FOOT IS REMOVED FROM THE PEDAL.
Remedy: DEALER WILL INSTALL A NEW ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND RETAINER DESIGNED TO PREVENT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ROD FROM CUTTING THE RUBBER MAT OR CARPET. THIS WILL BE PERFORMED WITHOUT CHARGE.
NHTSA campaign record ↗77V171000 · Suspension:Front
Reported: 1977-10-12 (October 12, 1977) · Model years: 1977
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLED WITH A STANDARD FRONT SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY, INSTEAD OF THE SPECIFIED HEAVY-DUTY FRONT SUSPENSION. OPERATION OF VEHICLE WHILE CARRYING THE MAXIMUM RATED LOAD MAY LEAD TO DETERIORATION AND EVENTUAL FAILURE OF FRONT SUSPENSION COMPONENTS.
Remedy: DEALER WILL INSTALL THE PROPER FRONT SUSPENSION COMPONENTS WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
NHTSA campaign record ↗81V148000 · Service Brakes, Hydraulic:Fluid
Reported: 1981-12-14 (December 14, 1981) · Model years: 1981
THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE FLUID USED IN CERTAIN VEHICLES MAY FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE BRAKE FLUID BOILING POINT REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 116, "MOTOR VEHICLE BRAKE FLUIDS". BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE REDUCED AND VEHICLE STOPPING DISTANCE INCREASED, ESPECIALLY WHEN HARD OR FREQUENT BRAKING RAISES BRAKE FLUID TEMPERATURE.
Remedy: SUSPECT HYDRAULIC BRAKE FLUID WILL BE BLED FROM THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND REPLACED WITH GM DELCO SUPREME NO. 11 OR AN EQUIVALENT, WITHOUT CHARGE.

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.
1992: 0 complaints · 1993: 2 complaints
| Model year | Through age 0 | Through age 1 | Through age 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1992 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 1993 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
Date coverage across each selected cohort
| Year | Incident dates used | Filing date fallbacks | Excluded dates |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1992 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 1993 | 3 | 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.
