44 recalls announced in the last 30 days. Newest first - each one shows the problem, the risk, the free fix and every vehicle it covers.
Under extreme temperature conditions, the fuel system pressure relief valve will cause the valve spring seat to dislodge and the fuel supply to the carburetor will decrease. Engine hesitation on continuous high roads and engine stalling on inclined roads...
The windshield wiper and washer system contains an incorrect 6 amp circuit breaker instead of the 8.25 Amp circuit breaker. If the system is heavily loaded, as in the case of a partially dry windshield, the motor current may exceed the 6 amp breaker"s...
The involved vehicles do not contain a fuel tank shield at the front right corner of the mid-ship fuel tank. In the event of a frontal impact, excessive fuel spillage from the fuel tank may occur. This fails to comply with federal motor vehicle safety...
The bolts securing the main fuel tank support to the chassis may break under load allowing the tank to drop to the ground.
If paper or other combustible materials are placed in the instrument panel ashtray receptacle, they could become ignited and flames from the fire may reach the interior of the instrument panel.
Due to improper material construction the hydro-boost fluid return hose may not be capable of withstanding the temperatures and/or pressures experienced with the hydro-boost system. Also, the hydro-boost fluid high pressure hose assembly may have been...
The tilt steering columns on the involved vehicles contain in-process temporary alignment pins rather than the permanent press-fit pivot pins. The temporary pins are slightly undersized and could separate from the steering column during vehicle operation...
Certification labels installed in the involved vehicles may not include the date of vehicle manufacture, as required by federal regulations.

The involved vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 207, "Anchorage of seats", in that the front seat adjuster assemblies have lock bars which may not remain engaged when test procedure forces are applied to the seat.
The nut on the carrier support bolt assembly may break which would allow the entire wheel and tire assembly to separate from the vehicle.
The wiper arms could separate from the pivot shafts, rendering the wipers inoperative.
If the transmission is overfilled, the possibility of overspill arises under certain driving conditions due to the newly installed transmission dipstick. The transmission fluid may spill on the exhaust manifold or catalytic converter.
The l.P. Gas hose may come into contact with the spring hanger on the chassis suspension system or the shield between the l.P. Tank and the exhaust system. This could cause rupture of the l.P. Gas hose and allow raw propane to escape.
The existing cross steering arms may have insufficient fatigue life in the neck area. This is near the boss for the cross steering tube ball joint connection. Failure of either of the cross steering levers could lead to loss of steering control of the right...
Deficiencies, in the form of forging laps, cracks and excessive decarburization during heat treatment, exist in the steering knuckles. Stresses imposed with integral hydraulic power steering may lead to a failure in the area of the steering arm attaching...
The possibility exists that the aluminum engine rear support brackets may fail due to metal fatigue. This type of failure would allow the engine and transmission assembly to dislocate downward. This will result in throttle control loss with the engine...
The driver"s side shoulder belt retractor mounting bracket assembly contains a weld nut which was improperly attached to the bracket. This fails to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 210, "Seat belt assembly anchorages".
The windshield wiper drive linkage on the affected vehicles may fracture due to metal fatigue as a result of repeated flexing of the drive arm across a stress sensitive area. This condition will render the windshield wiper system inoperative.
