Recalls
5 vehicle recalls from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.
Brakes (hydraulic) Vehicle recall #00V078000 · 2000 · 34 vehicles
What's wrong: Brake and clutch fluid reservoir hoses May not be resistant to brake fluid, which could cause failure of the hoses.
Why it matters: Should a hose failure occur, the brake failure light would light up, followed by loss of vehicle braking efficiency.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the hoses and, if required, install new hoses that are resistant to brake fluid.
Airbags Vehicle recall #00V098000 · 2000 · 132 vehicles
What's wrong: The mounting of the air bag electronic control unit (ECU) May not be suited for long term reliability. If left unchanged, the mounting could become weak and the ability of the air bag ECU to sense a crash would be impaired.
Why it matters: If a crash should occur, the air bag May not deploy as expected.
The fix: Dealers will install longer screws, which ensure better tightening and securing of the ECU to the body element.
Brakes (hydraulic) Vehicle recall #00V099000 · 2000 · 173 vehicles
What's wrong: The ABS (anti-lock braking system)/asr (traction control system) electronic control unit is affected by an error in production by the supplier.
Why it matters: The ABS feature May not function and could cause the brake failure warning light to illuminate. Also, the electronic brake force distribution feature would not function causing vehicle instability under very hard braking.
The fix: Dealers will replace the ABS/asr electronic control unit.
Transmission & drivetrain Vehicle recall #00V340000 · 2000 · 568 vehicles
What's wrong: The starter ring gear, which is attached to the clutch assembly with three mounting screws, could become separated from the clutch assembly. This possible failure could be caused by (1) the fracture of the starter ring gear itself at the mounting holes due to an incorrect positioning of the mounting holes, or (2) by the failure of the mounting screws. If either of these conditions would occur, the result would be…
Why it matters: If these fragments came into contact with the vehicle's tire, a puncture could occur resulting in loss of vehicle control.
The fix: Dealers will (1) replace the starter ring gear mounting screws and measuring the starter ring gear mounting holes. The measurement of the starter ring gear will determine if the correct position of the mounting holes exists and if the position is incorrect, the starter ring gear will also be…
Other / unknown Vehicle recall #01V025000 · 2001 · 353 vehicles
What's wrong: A software programming error exists in the integrated electronic instrument cluster. This error exists in the brake system warning light monitoring function of the instrument cluster. The red electronic brake distribution warning light does not illuminate.
Why it matters: As a result, if a brake problem were to exist, the driver would not be aware of it.
The fix: Dealers will remove the instrument cluster from the vehicle and download updated software into the instrument cluster. Owner notification began March 31, 2001.
