1999 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE Recalls (4)

Campaign:
99V072000 on 04/14/1999
Component:
Wheels
Manufactured:
01/31/1999 - 03/30/1999
Affected:
352
Defect:
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with chrome plated aluminum wheels. some of these wheels have a mounting surface that was not machined correctly, causing the wheel studs to break.
Consequence:
The tire/wheel assembly could separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect the wheels and replace all wheels with date codes indicating that they may not have been machined correctly. the wheel mounting studs at any location where a suspect wheel was installed will also be replaced.
Notes:
Owner notification began may 12, 1999.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 pontiac at 1-800-762-2737.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
Campaign:
99V089000 on 04/28/1999
Component:
Power train:automatic transmission
Manufactured:
07/31/1998 - 01/30/1999
Affected:
99,333
Defect:
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with 4t65e automatic transmissions. these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of fmvss no. 102, "transmission shift lever sequence." a retaining clip, which secures the manual valve to the linkage of the transmission detent lever, can become loose under a combination of possible driver shifting maneuvers and allow the link to become disconnected from the manual valve.
Consequence:
If the link disconnects, the driver's indicated prndl state may differ from the hydraulic state of the transmission. if the driver selects 'drive' and the transmission is actually in 'reverse', a vehicle crash could occur.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the manual valve/link assembly with a replacement manual valve/link kit, featuring a spring-type fastener.
Notes:
Owner notification began may 25, 1999.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 buick at 1-800-521-7300, pontiac at 1-800-762-2737, or 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:
04V090000 on 02/29/2004
Component:
Fuel system, gasoline:delivery
Manufactured:
02/28/1998 - 06/29/1999
Affected:
910,873
Defect:
On certain passenger vehicles equipped with 3800 v6 (l36) engines and certain delphi fuel pressure regulators, the regulators have a much higher than usual rate of fuel leaks. a leak can allow fuel to enter the intake manifold through a vacuum line. if the engine does not start when cranked, the fuel from the leaking regulator and a mistimed spark can cause a backfire.
Consequence:
The backfire can rupture the intake manifold. the rupture of the intake manifold can displace a fuel line, pulling an injector out of place, and causing a fuel leak and possible fire.
Correction:
Dealers will install new fuel pressure regulators with improved diaphragms. the recall will be conducted in phased mailings. phase 1 began on june 30, 2004, and phase 2 began on september 30, 2004. owners should contact buick at 1-866-608-8080, oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537, or pontiac at 1-800-620-7668.
Notes:

Affected:

Defect:

Correction:
Sabersport will notify owners and offer a full refund for the noncompliant combination lamps. the safety recall began on may 11, 2009. owners may contact sabersport at 1-909-598-7589.
Notes:
