Recall history

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

92V153000 · Steering:Gear Box:Shaft Pitman

Reported: 1992-10-24 (October 24, 1992) · Model years: 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987

THE SAGINAW GEAR DOES NOT RELIEVE PRESSURE WHEN THE WHEELS HAVE BEEN TURNED FULLY AGAINST THE AXLE STOPS. THE RESULTING CONTINUED PRESSURE ON THE STEERING SYSTEM CAN RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CRACKS IN THE SPLINES OF THE PITMAN SHAFT, WHICH CAN DEVELOP INTO A COMPLETE FRACTURE OF THE PITMAN SHAFT.

Consequence: FRACTURE OF THE PITMAN SHAFT CAUSES COMPLETE LOSS OFSTEERING CONTROL, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT IF FRACTURE OCCURSWHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

Remedy: REPLACE THE EXISTING PITMAN SHAFT IN THE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY WITH A NEW, STRENGTHENED PITMAN SHAFT.

96V096000 · Suspension:Rear

Reported: 1996-06-11 (June 11, 1996) · Model years: 1982

THE AXLE HOUSINGS WERE MANUFACTURED WITH A TIGHT FRICTION WELD CURL RADIUS ON THE INSIDE DIAMETER OF THE AXLE HOUSING. UNDER OPERATIONAL LOADS, CRACKS CAN INITIATE AT THE WELD CURL RADIUS ON THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSING. THESE CRACKS MAY PROPAGATE, EVENTUALLY ALLOWING THE AXLE SPINDLE TO SEPARATE FROM THE AXLE HOUSING.

Consequence: SEPARATION OF THE AXLE SPINDLE FROM THE AXLE HOUSING CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE REAR AXLE HOUSING WITH A NEW HOUSING.

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.
