THE FRONT SUSPENSION CONTROL ARMS WERE ASSEMBLED WITH BALL JOINTS WHICH MAY CONTAIN SOCKETS THAT WERE NOT PROPERLY HEAT-TREATED. THIS MAY CAUSE THE SOCKET TO WEAR RAPIDLY AND ALLOW THE BALL JOINT STUD TO SEPARATE FROM THE SOCKET, CAUSING EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT WHEEL SUSPENSION TO COLLAPSE.

Remedy: DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, WHERE NECESSARY, WILL REPLACE THE BALL JOINTS WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.

THE INVOLVED VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 207, "ANCHORAGE OF SEATS", DUE TO POSSIBLE FAILURE OF THE SEAT POST ATTACHMENT AT THE FLOOR IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THESE VEHICLES HAVE OVERSIZED BOLT HOLES IN THE FLOOR PAN WHICH MAY ALLOW THE SEAT ATTACHING NUTS TO PASS THROUGH THEM AND THUS TIGHTEN AGAINST THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT BASE INSTEAD OF THE LONGITUDINAL SILL.

Remedy: DEALER WILL INSTALL A STEEL REINFORCEMENT PLATE ON THE BOTTOM SURFACE OF THE LONGITUDINAL SILL, AT NO COST TO OWNER.

Reported: 1986-08-25 (August 25, 1986) · Model years: 1984, 1985

THREE BOLTS WHICH ATTACH THE SILL THAT SUPPORTS THE BASE OF THE SEAT WERE OMITTED; THEREFORE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS 210 AND FMVSS 207. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE FLOOR PLATE COULD BUCKLE ALONG THE INBOARD SIDE CAUSING THE SEAT PEDESTAL TO BE IMBALANCED, AND INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF INJURY TO THE SEAT OCCUPANT.

Remedy: INSTALL MISSING BOLTS.
