Recall history
5 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.
79V028000 · Fuel System, Gasoline:Storage:Tank Assembly:Filler Pipe And Cap
Reported: 1979-01-18 (January 18, 1979) · Model years: 1975, 1976
UNDER ADVERSE CONDITIONS OF HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES, PRESSURES AND FUEL VOLATILITY, FUEL MAY SURGE WHEN THE FUEL FILLER CAP IS REMOVED IN A CERTAIN MANNER. UNDER THESE SAME CONDITIONS THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY DEVELOP VAPOR LOCK.
Remedy: THE DEALER WILL INSTALL A BAFFLE IN THE FUEL FILLER NECK TO PREVENT FUEL SURGE AND INSTALL A NEW PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE, WHICH WILL BRING ABOUT A LOWER VENT PRESSURE. THIS WILL BE DONE AT NO COST TO OWNER.

NHTSA campaign record ↗79V048000 · Fuel System, Gasoline:Storage:Tank Assembly
Reported: 1979-02-13 (February 13, 1979) · Model years: 1976
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES CONTAIN A POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE IN THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WHICH, THROUGH EXCESS PRESSURE OVER EXTENDED PERIODS, COULD CAUSE METAL FATIGUE AND EVENTUALLY FUEL VAPORS TO BE EMITTED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE THROUGH HAIRLINE CRACKS IN THE FUEL TANK.
Remedy: DEALER WILL INSPECT THE TANK AND MAKE REPLACEMENTS, IF NECESSARY. THE VALVE WILL BE REPLACED TO CORRECT THE EMISSION AND SAFETY-RELATED PROBLEMS. CERTAIN VEHICLES WILL REQUIRE INSTALLATION OF A FILLER INLET FUEL TRAP AND A FEEDER PUMP TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF FUEL SURGE AND VAPOR LOCK.
NHTSA campaign record ↗78V062000 · Power Train:Axle Assembly:Axle Shaft
Reported: 1978-03-24 (March 24, 1978) · Model years: 1978
THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, MAY HAVE RECEIVED AN INADEQUATE AMOUNT OF LUBRICATION. THIS CONDITION WOULD INITIALLY CAUSE THE ROLLER BEARINGS TO DEVELOP A RUMBLING NOISE.
Remedy: THE DEALER WILL EITHER LUBRICATE THE BEARINGS OR REPLACE THEM WITH NEW BEARINGS AND SEALS WITH LUBRICATION AT NO CHARGE TO OWNER.
