Part 573 reports
Power Train › Automatic Transmission › Cooling Unit and Lines96I005000
Filed Jan 1, 19965,220 vehiclesGeneral Motors Corp.

Defect. THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL REGULATION 573. HOWEVER, IT IS DEEMED A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN BY THE AGENCY. THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER HOSE ASSEMBY CAN RUPTURE.

Risk. THIS CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF SUFFICIENT TRANSMISSION FLUID TO CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO STOP TRANSMITTING POWER TO THE REAR WHEELS AND COULD ALSO CAUSE SEVERE TRANSMISSION DAMAGE.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SUSPECT TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER HOSES WITH PARTS THAT MEET SPECIFICATIONS.

Exterior Lighting › Back Up Lights95V130000
Filed Jul 5, 19955,482 vehiclesGeneral Motors Corp.

Defect. THESE VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLED WITH A TRANSMISSION REVERSE SIGNAL SWITCH THAT COULD LEAK CAUSING LOSS OF ELECTRICAL CONTACT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS IN REVERSE. THIS DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT."

Risk. CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: THIS CONDITION CAN PREVENT THE BACKUP WARNING SYSTEM (LIGHTS AND AUDIBLE ALARMS) FROM OPERATING PROPERLY, INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE REVERSE SIGNAL PRESSURE SWITCH.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
