In some 16 x 6 disc wheels a manufacturing defect may cause the wheels to crack in the drop center portion of the rim. If the crack were to occur on a wheel with a tube type tire mounted to it, and continued to go undetected, the wheel could split, resulting...

45 recalls announced in the last 30 days. Newest first - each one shows the problem, the risk, the free fix and every vehicle it covers.
The involved vehicles were produced with hydraulic brake booster supply hoses that are located too close to the engine exhaust manifold and may chafe and develop heat damage during vehicle operation. Chafing and heat induced deterioration of a hose due to...
Due to a manufacturing problem with the fuel tank filler pipe, the fuel cap may improperly seal the end of the filler pipe. This fails to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard 301, "fuel system integrity." In the event of a...
The throttle linkage may bind because during normal operation, the throttle body case may interfere with the linkage. This interference could prevent the throttle from closing even though the driver has removed his foot from the accelerator pedal.
The turn signal mechanism in the steering column may break; the broken piece may become jammed in the steering column. While using the turn signal and turning in either direction, the operator may experience either increased steering effort in the turn, or...
FAN BLADES MAY SEPARATE FROM THE FAN.
Certain vehicles may contain par-grip fittings on the brake lines which may have been improperly assembled.
The aluminum front axle hubs were manufactured with slightly undersized outer bearing bores. (Hubs are the structures upon which the wheels and their bearings rotate.) Depending on the amount of stress imposed on the hub, a fatigue failure may occur late in...
The tie rods are part of the steering linkage and transmit turning movements to the wheels. The bolts that fasten the tie rods to their adjusters may not be tight enough. This could allow the tie rod to loosen and detach itself from the adjuster.
The brake line may be positioned too close to an engine bracket. Normal engine movements may cause the bracket to rub against the brake line.
The secondary throttle shaft may, with accumulated mileage, become contaminated and may stick in a partially open position while driving.
Auxiliary (tag) axle may develop cracks or break due to a manufacturing defect.
The sleeper compartment inside door latching mechanisms may cause the door to unlatch while the vehicle is being driven.
The flexible hose connecting the fuel pump to the carburetor fuel line may separate from the fuel pump.
Secondary hood latch components may have been improperly positioned during assembly. If the hood is not closed tightly, or is inadvertently released, the secondary latch may not work and the hood may fly up without prior warning.
The front brake hose, which is routed from the body brake tubing to the front axle connector, may have been twisted when installed. If the hose is twisted, it may become looped or coiled upon itself resulting in abrasive contact during normal operation.
An emissions system valve may allow an overly rich mixture (excessive fuel) in the engine during deceleration. The mixture of air and excessive fuel can cause the engine to stall while stopping, coasting, or turning.
Vehicles are not in compliance with the impact test requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard 301, "fuel system integrity." The structure of the rear step bumper may not withstand a rear end collision similar to the force created in testing; fuel...
Oil pressure sender gauge may be defective. Continued engine operation under high temperature and high pressure may cause the sending unit to leak oil or may cause the engine to lock up.
Water control valve in the heating system may not close completely. Excessive current may begin to flow through the wiring to the control valve resulting in overheating of the wiring.
