Component

Service Brakes, Hydraulic:Foundation Components:Hoses, Lines/Piping, And Fittings

Consequence of Defect

certain passenger vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 135, øpassenger car braking systems.ø on some of these vehicles, the right rear brake hose fitting may not be tightened properly, and a brake fluid leak could occur.

Corrective Action

if enough fluid leaks, the brake pedal will be lower than normal, and stopping distances will be longer. if this occurs when stopping distance is limited, a crash could occur.

Recall Notes

dealers will tighten the right rear brake hose fitting to the proper torque specification, and add brake fluid if necessary. owner notification began august 28, 2003. owners should contact pontiac at 1-800-620-7668.

2004 Pontiac Grand Prix

Component

Structure:Frame And Members

Consequence of Defect

certain passenger vehicles have a condition where the front frame rear body mount bracket may fracture.

Corrective Action

if ignored, the bracket would fracture and degrade to the point where the intermediate steering shaft could separate, resulting in loss of steering control and a crash could occur.

Recall Notes

Component

Vehicle Speed Control:Accelerator Pedal

Consequence of Defect

certain passenger vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 124, 'accelerator control systems.' if one of the two accelerator pedal return springs fails and the temperature is -22 degrees f to -40 degrees f, the engine may not return to idle within three seconds, as required.

Corrective Action

if this were to occur, greater brake pedal force and a longer distance may be required to stop the vehicle.

Recall Notes

dealers will replace the accelerator pedal assembly. this recall began on march 8, 2005. owners may contact cadillac at 1-866-982-2339 or pontiac at 1-800-620-7668.

2004 Pontiac Grand Prix

Component

Service Brakes, Hydraulic

Consequence of Defect

certain passenger vehicles were produced with lower than specified torque on both front brake caliper to steering knuckle attachment bolts. with improper torque, the clamp load at the joint may not be adequate to prevent movement between the caliper bracket and knuckle.

Corrective Action

depending on whether one or both bolts backs out or fractures, the result can be locking of the affected wheel during braking and an abrupt steering input in the direction of the locked wheel, reduced braking and noise from the affected wheel, or severing of a brake hose, increased brake pedal travel, and reduced steering control. reduced braking or steering control could cause a crash.

Recall Notes

dealers are to tighten both bolts to the specified torque. owner notification began on june 28, 2004. owners should contact chevrolet 1-800-630-2438 or pontiac 1-800-620-7668.

2001 Pontiac Grand Prix

Component

Air Bags:Frontal

Consequence of Defect

on certain passenger, sport utility vehicles and mini vans, some of these vehicles have a passenger air bag that was manufactured without a check valve pin. an air bag without the check valve pin could produce increased pressure at the onset of the air bag deployment and reduced pressure afterward.

Corrective Action

this could increase the severity of injury to a person who was not properly restrained and who was close to the passenger air bag at the time of deployment. it could also reduce the ab8ility of the air bag to protect a restrained front seat passenger.

Recall Notes

dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the passenger air bag. owner notification began december 16, 2002. 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 chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, pontiac at 1-800-762-2737, oldsmobile at 1-800-442-6537, or saturn at 1-800-553-6000, prompt #3.

2001 Pontiac Grand Prix

Component

Air Bags:Frontal

Consequence of Defect

vehicle description: passenger, sport utility vehicles and minivans. the passenger air bag inflator modules were built without the correct amount of generant, which produces the gas that fills the air bag. some were built with a double load of generant and some were built without generant.

Corrective Action

in the event of a crash that would trigger a passenger air bag deployment, a double load of generant can cause the inflator module to explode. if the air bag module explodes, metal and plastic debris could cause severe injury to vehicle occupant. a module with no generant would not inflate the air bag, and the occupants could receive more severe injuries.

Recall Notes

dealers will replace the passenger air bag module. telephone calls were made to owners on january 29, 2001. follow up owner mailing began on april 17, 2001. 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 chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, pontiac at 1-800-762-2737, or saturn at 1-800-553-6000.

Corrective Action

in the event of a vehicle crash, the occupant may not be properly restrained.

Recall Notes

dealers will inspect the vehicle's safety belt buckle assembly date codes and, if necessary, will replace any safety belt buckle assembly.

Corrective Action

metal and plastic debris could cause severe injury to vehicle occupants.

Recall Notes

dealers will replace the driver air bag module. owner notification began february 1, 2002. 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.

1998 Pontiac Grand Prix

Component

Steering:Rack And Pinion

Consequence of Defect

certain passenger vehicles and mini vans have lower pinion bearings in the power rack and pinion assembly in which the retainer tabs were not crimped properly. these and some other retainers used in vehicles assembled between january 1, 1996 and october 31, 1997, could fail and permit the ball bearings to escape.

Corrective Action

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.

Recall Notes

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 january 24, 2003. 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 chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, pontiac at 1-800-762-2737, or oldsmobile at 1-800-442-6537.
