82V051000 · Wheels:Lugs/Nuts/Bolts/Studs
Reported: 1982-05-20 (May 20, 1982)
THE INNER TRACTION WHEEL RETAINING NUTS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SECURELY TIGHTENED DURING ASSEMBLY. CONSEQUENTLY, THE NUTS COULD WORK LOOSE AND EVENTUALLY BECOME LOST.
Remedy: THE WHEEL RETAINING NUTS WILL BE TIGHTENED TO SPECIFICATIONS, IF NECESSARY.
NHTSA campaign record ↗82V058000 · Electrical System:Alternator/Generator/Regulator
Reported: 1982-06-07 (June 7, 1982)
INSULATION OF THE ALTERNATOR AND POST WIRES ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES IS INSUFFICIENT; CORROSION MAY DEVELOP DUE TO CONTACT WITH SALT AND SAND USED IN SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL. CORROSION COULD LEAD TO AN ELECTRICAL SHORT BETWEEN THE ALTERNATOR BODY AND POST.
Remedy: CORROSION WILL BE REMOVED FROM WIRES AND POSTS, A BRACKET WILL BE INSTALLED, AND A PROTECTIVE COATING OF SILICON GREASE AND UNITROL WILL BE APPLIED.
NHTSA campaign record ↗82V093000 · Steering: Steering Wheel/Handle Bar
Reported: 1982-09-27 (September 27, 1982)
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES THE STEERING WHEEL RETAINING NUT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ADEQUATELY TIGHTENED DURING ASSEMBLY. THE NUT MAY CONTINUE TO LOOSEN AND COULD EVENTUALLY COME OUT, ALLOWING THE STEERING WHEEL TO SEPARATE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN.
Remedy: THE STEERING WHEEL RETAINING NUT WILL BE TIGHTENED ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS AND LABOR COSTS WILL BE REIMBURSED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
NHTSA campaign record ↗82V117000 · Steering:Gear Box (Other Than Rack And Pinion)
Reported: 1982-12-03 (December 3, 1982)
THE ELASTIC PORTION OF THE RETAINING BOLTS USED TO SUPPORT THE STEERING GEAR BOX MAY BE TOO SHORT. AS A RESULT, THESE BOLTS WILL NOT LOCK SUFFICIENTLY, CAUSING THE NUTS TO LOOSEN AND ALLOWING THE STEERING GEAR BOX ASSEMBLY TO BECOME INOPERATIVE.
Remedy: THE DEALER WILL INSPECT THE STEERING GEAR BOX AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE SHORT BOLTS WITH LONGER BOLTS AT NO CHARGE TO OWNER.
