Campaign:
98V103000 on 05/17/1998
Component:
Exterior lighting:headlights
Manufactured:
01/31/1998 - 04/29/1998
Affected:
9,600
Defect:
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. the owner manuals do not contain the requirement information pertaining to the vehicle headlamp aiming device. this does not comply with requirements of fmvss no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Consequence:
If the headlamp assemblies are replaced, customers may not be able to properly aim the headlights.
Correction:
Owners will be mailed an owner manual's insert which contains the appropriate information.
Notes:
Owner notification is expected to begin during june 1998.owners who do not receive the insert and installation instructions within a reasonable time should contact oldsmobile at 1-800-442-6537.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
Campaign:
00V044000 on 02/27/2000
Component:
Seat belts
Manufactured:
10/31/1996 - 02/27/1999
Affected:
135,475
Defect:
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. some of these vehicles were built with rear seat shoulder belts that could twist, allowing the webbing to be jammed in the retractor. when the shoulder belt webbing becomes jammed in the retractor, the seat belt becomes unusable.
Consequence:
This could prevent a person from using the seat belt system, and a risk of injury to an unbelted person in a crash would be increased.
Correction:
Dealers will remove any twists from the rear shoulder belt(s) and install clips to the belt web guide to prevent twisting.
Notes:
Owner notification began august 30, 2000. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact oldsmobile at 1-800-442-6537. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
Campaign:
03V527000 on 12/17/2003
Component:
Steering:rack and pinion
Manufactured:
10/31/1996 - 10/30/1997
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.

Component:
Electrical system:ignition
Affected:
5,877,718
Defect:
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. the key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. general motors llc (gm) notified the agency on july 3, 2014, that they are recalling 5,877,718 model year 2000-2005 chevrolet impala and monte carlo, 1997-2003 chevrolet malibu, 2004-2005 malibu classic, 1999-2004 oldsmobile alero, 1998-2002 oldsmobile intrigue, 1999-2005 pontiac grand am and 2004-2008 pontiac grand prix vehicles. in these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence:
If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Correction:
Gm will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. the recall began on september 9, 2014. gm's number for this recall is 14350.
