1997 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO Recalls (3)

Campaign:
01I014000 on 01/06/2002
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components
Defect:
This is not a safety recall in accordance with the safety act. however, it is deemed a safety improvement campaign by the agency. vehicle description: 1995-1999 chevrolet monte carlo z34 passenger vehicles. the braking performance in wet weather or wet road conditions is reduced more than a driver would expect.
Consequence:
The braking could feel delayed momentarily when light or moderate force is applied on the brake pedal while driving on wet roads or after going through a car wash.
Correction:
Dealer will modify the front fender liners to remove a portion of the closeout panels in the front wheel wells at no charge to the consumer. this service will be available through august 2004.
Notes:
Gm has decided to conduct a customer satisfaction campaign to modify the vehicle if an owner has experienced a greater than expected reduction or delay in braking on wet roads.owners can contact chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, concerning this program.
Campaign:
03V527000 on 12/17/2003
Component:
Steering:rack and pinion
Manufactured:
03/31/1996 - 07/30/1997
Affected:
750,283
Defect:
Certain passenger vehicles have lower pinion bearings in the power rack and pinion assembly in which the retainer tabs were not crimped properly. these retainers could fail and permit the ball bearings to escape.
Consequence:
If this occurs, the pinion shaft can be forced upward during left turns and back down as the steering wheel is moved back and to the right. if the pinion shaft moves further, the driver will need to exert more effort to turn the steering wheel, similar to a vehicle without power assisted steering. if the pinion shaft moves even further, the driver will require much higher effort to turn left and may not be able to turn the wheel as much as intended. with the maximum pinion shaft movement, which requires internal gear component damage, the driver can encounter high resistance to turning left, followed by unintended power assist to the right. in any of these conditions, a crash could occur.
Correction:
Dealers will install a new lower pinion bearing unless inspect of the existing bearing indicates that replacement of the gear assembly is necessary. owner notification began on february 5, 2004. owners should contact buick at 1-866-608-8080; chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438; oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537; or pontiac at 1-800-620-7668.
Notes:
Gm recall no. 03062.customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
