Recalls
2 vehicle recalls from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.
Seat belts Vehicle recall #00V057000 · 2000 · 85,253 vehicles
What's wrong: The rear shoulder belt(s) do not retract. A retainer could separate from a rear seat shoulder belt retractor which results in the retractor return spring becoming disengaged.
Why it matters: In a crash, an occupant May receive more severe injuries if there is excessive slack in the shoulder belt.
The fix: Dealers will inspect both rear shoulder belt retractors for correct function and install a spring cover retaining strap to each retractor. If a retractor does not function correctly, it will be replaced.
Fuel system Vehicle recall #04V110000 · 2004 · 483,477 vehicles
What's wrong: Some passenger vehicles equipped with 4.0l v8 engines have a condition in which the nylon tubing used in the fuel rail construction May degrade and crack. Additionally, the 1995 model year uses a unique underhood fuel return line that May crack. Cracking of the fuel rail or return line tubing can result in a fuel leak into the engine compartment.
Why it matters: Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the engine fuel rail with a new stainless steel fuel rail. Dealers will also install a revised chassis fuel return line. The recall began on June 2, 2004, for 1996-1997 Oldsmobile aurora vehicles. Owners of 1995 cadillacs and 1996-1997 Oldsmobile…
