Brakes (hydraulic) Vehicle recall #96V260000 · 1996 · 52,000 vehicles

Brakes (hydraulic) Vehicle recall #98V005000 · 1998 · 293,369 vehicles
What's wrong: The front disc brake rotors can experience severe corrosion if operated for an extensive period in the "salt belt." if the rotors are not replaced, the corrosion can eventually compromise the structural integrity of the stamped steel center hub section of the rotor.

The fix: Dealers will replace these rotors with rotors that are coated with a corrosion protection.
