NHTSA safety recall results (1)

Recall information provided by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

Component not known

Recall date
Recall no.
96V212000

During assembly of the left rear quarter panel, some welds were missed. This causes a failure to comply with the requirements of FMVSS No 301, "Fuel System Integrity".

Recall consequence
In the event of a rear end collision, the vehicle sheet metal structure will not perform as designed, causing unexpected damage to the fuel tank or fuel lines, resulting in fuel leakage. If there is a fuel leak and an ignition source, a fire could occur.
Recall action
Dealers will inspect for the missing welds and if necessary, place three welds between the involved panels and apply primer, sealer and anti-corrosion materials.
