News - Crash Test Results:

Frontal Driver: * * * *

Frontal Passenger: * * * * *

Crash Test Note: Results based on a 35 MPH frontal crash. Results are reported in a range of one to five stars, with five stars indicating the best crash protection for vehicles within the same weight class. This test used driver and passenger belts and air bags.


Recall:

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 96V231000

Potential Number of Units Affected: 742

Summary: Two bolts that attach the driver air bag to the steering wheel were not installed during vehicle assembly.

Consequence: In the event of a frontal collision, the air bag module would stay in position during deployment. However, the module could leave the steering wheel cavity following air bag deployment.

Remedy: Dealers will inspect the vehicles and install any bolts that were missing.

Notes: No owner notification will be perfomred on this campaign since the vehicles are still in transit to dealers or are being held at dealerships.

Dates of Manufacture: October 1996

Manufacturer Recall No.: 96S58
